Starting from the fire track intersection along the southwestern boundary of Padthaway Conservation Park near the Padthaway Caravan Park off Beeamma-Parsons Road, Padthaway, this walk takes you on a circuit around Padthaway Conservation Park via the Currawong Loop. This moderately easy loop takes walkers around the northern end of Padthaway Conservation Park, which is situated on a former sand dune system and protects an important area of remnant native vegetation that has adapted to the harsh environment. The park is dominated by blue gum, manna gum and stringybarks. Also, many bird species reside here, which is great news for birdwatchers. The walk initially follows a fire track towards the park's northwestern boundary and continues alongside Padthaway Road, then heads past the picnic area to form a loop around the park. Many native animals can be seen along the trail, including echidnas, kangaroos and koalas, and in spring, there are colourful displays of wildflowers and orchids. Cycling is also permitted on this trail. This walk consists of wide, gently undulating fire trails, with uneven natural surfaces and compacted natural surfaces, suitable for average fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
