Starting from the car park on Woorabinda Drive, Stirling, this walk takes you on a circuit around Woorabinda Lake via the Woorabinda Lake Track. Located a short distance from the centre of Stirling in Woorabinda Bushland Reserves, this short family-friendly loop follows a shaded path around Woorabinda Lake, a former railway dam that provides habitat for birds, fish, reptiles, mammals and amphibians. Along the way, the walk passes the Poetry Station, a bench with a pouch containing paper and pencils, where visitors can relax, enjoy the view and read or write a poem. There's also a lovely bird hide on the south-eastern side of the lake, with a bird identification chart inside. Model boating enthusiasts race remote-controlled yachts on the lake every Wednesday, making this a great time to visit. This loop consists of flat, well-maintained walking paths and boardwalks, suitable for prams and wheelchairs. 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
