Starting from the car park on Pimpala Road, Cockatoo Valley, this circuit walk takes you around the perimeter of Sandy Creek Conservation Park via the Honeyeater Link and Boundary tracks. This walk starts along the Honeyeater Link Track and then follows a wide fire trail around the park's perimeter. The sandy land is home to the rarest plants of the valley. The terrain undulates gently, and the trails are flat and well maintained, making this an easy walk. 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.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
