Trail Fast Facts
Wolli Creek walking track is a 2km, grade 3 hike in Wolli Creek Regional Park, New South Wales. This hike typically takes 1.25 hours to complete.
Hike Overview
Wolli Creek walking track is a 2km section of the Two Valley trail, linking Campsie to Bexley North via a riverside trail that passes through Canterbury, Undercliffe and Bardwell Park. The park is a very special area, forming a vital vegetation corridor that assists native plants to survive because of its dense bush habitat for the insects and birds that pollinate the plants.
If you live in the local area, this short track is great for a brisk morning walk. Early morning and dusk are good times to spot the local wildlife; look for Australian pelicans hunting for fish, egrets with their long necks and tawny frogmouths camouflaged in the trees. If you don't live in the area, you can easily access this peaceful walk from one of the train stations along the route, including Turella, Bardwell Park, and Bexley North. The longer Two Valley trail can be accessed from a number of points along its 13km.
It's such a treat to be able to take a bushwalk in the city. Look out for the amazing birdlife and enjoy the serenity of this short and easy walk.

Tips
If you feel like a longer day walk, you can take the Two Valley trail from Campsie to Bexley North - it's 13km in length, but there are some good places to stop for a coffee along the way.
Girahween picnic area at the Bardwell Park end of the walk is a good place to stop for a picnic or barbecue
