Starting from the Wild Dog Creek car park on Para Wirra Drive, Yattalunga, this walk takes you on a circuit around the open scrub area of Para Wirra Conservation Park via the Treecreeper Loop. This moderately easy loop meanders around a large area of open scrub at the southeastern end of Para Wirra Conservation Park, near the Humbug Scrub Wildlife Sanctuary, providing good opportunities to discover native plants and animals. The walk initially crosses a creek and heads along Para Wirra Drive, passing an optional side trip to the Wild Dog Dam, then follows the Workshop Track through pink gum woodland. After passing near the Wirra Campground, the walk continues along the park's eastern boundary, parallel to Humbug Scrub Road, then follows the Blue Gum Track through blue gum woodland, passing another small dam before returning to the car park. Cycling is also permitted on this trail. Walkers should note that the Para Wirra Drive section is a sealed road shared with vehicles. This loop consists of wide, mostly flat fire tracks and sealed roads, with compacted gravel surfaces, compacted natural surfaces and bitumen surfaces, suitable for average fitness levels. 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.
