TAKAYNA / TARKINE

The end of the trail at Trowutta Arch has a steep slope heading down towards the sinkhole, plus some stairs – stay well away from the water’s edge and take extra care navigating this area. Alternatively, stick to the track, avoid walking down the slope beneath the arch and appreciate the sinkhole from a distance. Guide dogs are permitted at Trowutta Arch. Other support dogs are welcome, but registered permits are required. The Philosopher Falls walk includes some steps, with handrails.

The small, historic boat used for the Arthur River Cruise is not wheelchair accessible, but is accessible for people with other mobility-related disabilities and for people travelling with dog guides. Please note some walking tracks at Turks Landing are uneven, with some exposed tree roots and low branches. Calling ahead on 0427 885 792 to book this tour is essential.
