The is for everyone. The cricket, football and netball players, playground players, dog walkers and anyone who likes a quiet bushy creek side walk.




It is home to the Norwood Sporting, Cricket, Football and Netball Clubs with two large ovals and several pavilions at their disposal.


Between the ovals and the Mullum Mullum Creek is an area of bushland, quite dense in parts.


All the paths are wide and asphalted, but steep in parts which would be a challenge to wheelchairs.

After rain in the low areas near the bridge crossings, the fallen leaves on the paths can be very slippery.


The southern boundary of the bushland follows the Mullum Mullum Creek which has a walking path on both sides. These paths are very wheelchair friendly.


Along the boundary of the reserve with the creek are two bridge crossings, both guarded by carved wooden fauna totems.




The walk along the creek has many interpretive signs telling details of the flora and how the original inhabitants lived and hunted and collected their daily food.


The only water bird I saw was one duck, having a rest on a rock in the creek.


A dove kindly perched for some time on a dead tree branch above my head. Other birds were seen and heard in the distance.


It seemed a very popular area for walkers and dogs, both on the creek paths and the paths through the bush.

Many wattle trees were blooming throughout the bush, giving a colourful burst of colour.




There were a few wildflowers flowering with most of them being white and bushy, rather than single or double stalked colourful ones.






There is an off-road car park off Mullum Mullum Road which leads to the start of the bushy parts.

If you are walking the Mullum Mullum Trail, a diversion through the bush at the reserve would be a good experience.
