Starting from Quinzeh Creek Road, Cedar Creek, this circuit walk takes you to Wickham Peak and Grass Tree lookouts, mostly via the Boundary Breek and Grass Tree Break tracks. This journey offers stunning panoramic views of the city and ridges around, making it a popular destination for walkers and nature lovers alike. The track takes you through an open eucalypt forest, and you might spot some interesting fauna along the way, such as sugar gliders, koalas, and rock wallabies. The trails are well-signed, making it easy to navigate your way around the captivating habitat. The route is ideal for walkers of all fitness levels and is dog-friendly as long as they are on a leash. However, there are no rubbish bins, so it's important to pack out what you pack in. Lastly, keep an eye out for horse feces on and around the track. 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.
