The Slippery Dip & Power Lines Circuit is a circuit walk starting from the intersection of Slippery Dip Trail & Morgan Road, Belrose. This walk lets you take in the views of the natural landscape whilst giving you a proper challenge. There are no facilities along the way, so make sure to bring enough water and snacks. Enjoy the fresh air and take in the sweeping sights of the bush. Dogs are allowed on a lead, but make sure you don't wander in Garigal NP accidentally. 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.
