This hike has 2 trails through some amazing Australian Eucalypt forests. The Tingalpa Creek track is short, while Venman circuit takes longer, but can connect to other parks to the NW. Can be a bit slippery after rain. Three stepping stone crossings in the wet - can be a bit slippy.
Why not drop in to the Nursey/Cafe afterwards and give Shadow a corner of your pumkin scone.
