Starting from the end of Pineview Road, Logan Village, this return walk takes you to Wickham Peak via the Spa Break and On Edge Trail, then proceeds to visit Grass Tree Lookout via the Grass Tree Break and turns back. Expect a quiet walk in a serene forest consisting of eucalypt trees and colourful wildflowers that are best viewed from late winter to spring. You’ll probably be accompanied by birdsong throughout the track, and will have a chance to spot rare birds such as the White-throated needletail. Other wildlife residing in the area include koalas and southern great gliders, so make sure you keep an eye on treetops. Another good thing about this track is that you’re able to enjoy it with your fellow four-legged companion, considering he/she’s on leash. The lookouts provide you with eccentric views of the city through the trees. 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.
