Insider tips

Wear sturdy, enclosed footwear as the tracks can be sandy, muddy, or uneven depending on recent weather.

Bring insect repellent, especially during warmer months, as bushland areas can have high mosquito and ant activity.

Stay on the clearly marked walking tracks to prevent damage to sensitive understory vegetation and to avoid tick exposure.

What to avoid

Attempting to walk through the bushland during or immediately after heavy rainfall, as trails become waterlogged and muddy.

Etiquette

Keep dogs on a leash at all times, carry waste bags to clean up after pets, and do not remove any vegetation or timber from the site.
