Take in the stunning river views and as you walk along this track and over its quaint bridges, surrounded by the sounds of nature. Birds can be spotted around the river, and you may encounter horses in paddocks along the way. The trail is marked clearly, and there are many signs that make it easy to follow. There are a few steep slopes and bridges. There are also some rocky areas on the track, and it’s best to navigate them carefully. 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.
