Starting from the Chambers Gully car park just off Waterfall Gully Road, Burnside, this walk takes you on a circuit within Chambers Gully Park via the Chambers Gully, Bartrill Spur and Long Ridge tracks. Enjoy meandering through the cool sanctuary of Chambers Gully on this walk. Keep a lookout for koalas, kangaroos, cockatoos, echidnas and bandicoots as you follow the track fringed with ferns. A steep climb winds up to a ridge, where splendid views of the city and coast are revealed. The terrain is varied, with some tracks that are wide and flat, and others that are narrow and uneven. 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.
