Starting from Pioneer Museum, Northcliffe, this walk takes you on a circuit through coastal swamp vegetation. This walk is for the ones that are looking for a quick, effortless escape to the forest. You can opt to have a picnic in Arcadia picnic spot in the middle of the forest. It is possible to spot bright red bottlebrushes along the walk during the summer. There are only gentle hilly sections, but the path can be slippery during the winter as there are rocky sections. No bushwalking experience is required. 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.
