Mount Imlay (Balawan)
Mount Imlay / Balawan
A sacred mountain of the Aboriginal people of the Sapphire Coast. The steep track to the summit offers views over Twofold Bay and the whole coastline.
Mount Imlay rises to 886 metres and is a sacred mountain for the local Aboriginal people, known as Balawan. The return summit track is about 3.5 km long and very steep, taking 2.5 to 3.5 hours. From the top you can see 360 degrees over Eden, Twofold Bay and the southern forests, and you may spot the distinctive Imlay mallee eucalyptus. It is about 25 km southwest of Eden, and the last section is a gravel road. Wear non-slip shoes, bring plenty of water, and take care when the track is wet.
