Wirraparinga Trail Loop

Starting from the car park on Brown Hill Creek Road, Mitcham, this walk takes you on a circuit through Brownhill Creek Recreation Park. The Wirraparinga Trail meanders around the Brownhill Creek valley, taking in the Aboriginal people history, following the narrow creek as it flows through the steep-sided valley covered with majestic river red gums, some more than 300 years old. The loop is well signposted, and there are several picnic tables dotted throughout the park. The Shared-Use Trail is wheelchair accessible and suitable for prams. Some sections can be slippery in winter and after heavy rains. Take care on the creek crossings and where you share the road with traffic. 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.
