Hike Overview

This 1.5km return natural trail meanders along a creek line and through revegetated reserve. Visitors can learn about the local flora and fauna through informative interpretive signage.

An artistic interpretive sign is situated at the start of the Carty Reserve. The walk itself follows the creek line. It would be best to do this walk in Winter and Spring when the creek is running and the flowers are blooming. The area has been revegetated with local native species.

Track Grade

Grade 2 (Easy) - A Gentle Introduction to Inclines: Grade 2 on the AWTGS represents easy walking tracks that offer a slightly more challenging experience compared to Grade 1. Similar to Grade 1, no prior bushwalking experience is required. The track surface is typically hardened or compacted and may have gentle hill sections or occasional steps. The total distance of a Grade 2 walk is typically no greater than 10 kilometers. These walks are still suitable for families with a bit more experience or those seeking a gentle introduction to some inclines.
