Gawarn Baring is a 5km return track, looping from the walk start at the Goulburn Valley Highway up to the Trawool Reservoir.

It’s a natural earthen track which is designed to showcase the views of the Falls Creek footprint, as well as the outlook over the stunning Trawool Valley. On clear days, you’ll have views right across a large section of the nearby Great Dividing Range.

The track begins at the edge of the Goulburn Valley Highway near Falls Creek Road, marked by the Gawarn Baring gateway. It features two old water pumps from the Seymour district that have been repurposed into a new gate structure.
