About the Walking Trail
This hike passes through a small area of tall stringybark forest, and also through species such as cup gum, pink gum, bottlebrush, tea-tree, banksia and acacia trees. The hike is along sandy fire tracks and walking trails.
Start from the Gate 1 trailhead and carpark, on Bull Creek Road (bitumen road).
Extend the hike by doing the longer Emu Wren Hike (10.1km).
