Trail Starter
Description

Note - originally planned for Sunday June 2, but rescheduled by leader due to family commitments.

A lovely walk taking in sections of Old Kersbrook Forest and the Blue Gum and Mack Creek tracks of Para Wirra Conservation Park.

The walk follows a range of trails - including well made fire tracks, shared trails and a narrower, more secluded track along Mack Creek.

The terrain is reasonably flat although there is a gentle descent into and ascent out of the creek. We will walk through blue gums and later box and pink gum forests.

BIOSECURITY MEASURES – Please ensure you thoroughly clean your footwear, clothing, walking poles and other equipment before and after each walk to remove all seeds, dirt and other debris. Removed seeds should be bagged and disposed in a ‘to landfill’ garbage bin.
