Nice easy track. Lots of grass trees

Beautiful track and great for the little kids! Love all the grass and bottle brush trees! So beautiful in the late afternoon with the sun setting through the trees 😍

Cute local reserve. Really great for the BCC to gazette of some bush for our flora and fauna :) The grass tree spikes are so prolific and architectural rn + there's still a little bit of banksia, pea flowers, and other heath wildflowers blooming if that's ur thing !

nice walk

Nice short walk. 1 hour would be quite a slow pace. Saw several wallabies. The North-East quarter of the circuit is currently closed for track maintenance. I would definitely classify this walk as easy or very easy

Nice easy walk. Took the dog along as well.

Lovely easy loop so close to the burbs. Took far less than an hour.

It doesn't take long to forget how close you are to the city on this walk

A nice track without having to leave the city. There are a number of shorter tracks that branch of Giwadha but keep an eye in the direction you're going as some signs have disintegrated from termite activity. The tracks are also suitable for runners, mountain bikes and bird watchers.

View? Nope.

Good exercise.

As per previous comment the lookout view is quite limited. Good place to spot butterflies.

Did this walk on my lunch break. View from spider hill is quite limited but track through reserve is pleasant.

Easy, not much to see at the lookout.
