This short walk is just over 400 metres in length and the only path is wide sealed asphalt.



The entrance sign says it is a nature trail and picnic area. There are two picnic tables and bench seats, just inside the entrance. They are next to a very quiet street and would be a peaceful location for a picnic.



The path has a slight incline for most of its length but should be manageable for wheelchairs.



The path follows a very small creek which is lined with rocks for most of its length.



It is well maintained and many shrubs have been planted along the walk to supplement the more mature foliage.



The walk leads to and ends at the Nangathan Way Reserve, which in turn leads to Hochkins Ridge Flora Reserve.



The walk can be combined with the flat area of the Nangathan Way Reserve walk to give a smooth flat path, suitable for all levels of fitness and mobility.



Both areas are popular with dog walkers and the end of the walk leads onto a leash-free grassy area in the Nangathan Reserve.

A couple of wattle trees were in flower on one of my walks, albeit getting towards the end of their blooming beauty.



Only two wildflowers were noted. A Dianella Caerulea or Paroo Lily and a Spiny-headed mat rush.




It would also be very suitable walk to introduce little ones to the joys of bush walking, close to home.
