Getting started
From the car park next to the mud brick building, this walk heads in front of the mud brick building and follows the path to the toilet block. Here, the walk heads across the grass between the picnic table (under the tree on the left) and the BBQ shelter (on the right) to the far end of the clearing, near another picnic table, to find the 'Sid Pulsford Walking Trail' sign.....

Turn map	Directions & comments
	Start heading along Island View Drive. Honeman's Rock (about 45 m back from the start). Honeman's Rock Honeman's Rock (aka Honeyman's Rock) is a large rock outcrop in front of the mud brick building, in the Honeman's Rock Picnic area. The exposed section of rock is 60m long and about 30m wide, with the western side having a significant unfenced drop. The rock is named after Cecil Lyle Honeman who became a lease holder on the mountain in 1962. The rock has a large depression that once filled with water, and a drain has been dug to keep the pool empty and clear of rubbish. After 130 m find the "Mud Brick Building" (10 m on your left). Mud Brick Building The mud brick building is a landmark in the main picnic area at Kincumber Mountain, and is a popular spot to gather. Also known as 'Kincumber Mountain Information Centre', 'The Kiosk', 'Kincumber Kiosk' and 'Kincumber Mountain Kiosk', the building was constructed in 1986 with funding from Community Employment Programme. The building is generally locked but can be booked through the local Lions Club for special events. The building has a rain water tank, small kitchen and one main large room. The verandah also provides good shelter. After another 20 m pass the "Kincumba Mountain Kiosk" (30 m on your left). After another 45 m find the "Honeman's Rock picnic area" (45 m on your left). Honeman's Rock picnic area Honeman's Rock picnic area is a large picnic area at the top end of Island View Drive. This picnic area has a couple of large grassy areas, composting toilets, free electric BBQs, picnic tables, shelters, garbage bins, drinking water and information signs. The picnic area is home to a mud brick building (available for hire) and Honeman's Rock, from which the area derives its name. There is a fair amount of parking available next the picnic area, and some extra spaces a few hundred meters down the road.
	Continue straight, to head along Island View Drive.
	After another 90 m (at the intersection of Kanning Walk & Island View Drive) turn left, to head along Sid Pulsford Trail. After another 40 m to find the car park. After another 10 m pass the sign (15 m on your left).
	After another 200 m continue straight, to head along Warriwarri Walk.
	After another 90 m continue straight, to head along Warriwarri Walk. After another 350 m find the "Warriwarri Lookout" (on your right). Warriwarri Lookout Warriwarri Lookout is an overgrown and signposted lookout in the middle of Kincumber Mountain Reserve. There is a fairly large clearing and a bench seat. There are slightly better views north, past the sign at the unfenced rock outcrop. The filtered views look north-east. The view from the lookout is overgrown, so do not expect much in the way of views. Continue another 215 m to find the end. Then turn around here and retrace the main route for 1.1 km to get back to the start.
