Located in Springfield,
White Rock Conservation Park is a great place to experience bush walking. However, unfortunately there are no public transport options.
Take the exit to Redbank Plains from Centenary Highway and follow the signs to School Road, which leads to the Paperbark Flats car park. The Park has lots of treks for all fitness levels, from 200 meters to 19 km return. Some treks are especially good for horse riding and mountain biking. Most people prefer 6 km or 6.5 km return trek, which takes around 2 hours hiking. Enjoy the view of the City and surrounding mountains from the lookouts and have a snack at the picnic areas.

There are more than 150 fauna species in the park. If you are lucky enough, you may spot a koala, eagle or falcon on the top of the tree. The main feature of the Park is the White Rock – around 14 metres high rock of a light yellowish, almost white colour.

It plays an important part in the culture of Indigenous people forming a part of the cultural landscape. Visitors are asked to respect beliefs of the Indigenous people and retain from climbing the rock.
White Rock Conservation Park is a great place for the fitness escape from the city and you do not need special bush walking skills or gear, just standard pack.
