Walking Trails
Kookaburra Bush Walk (3.5km return, 90 minutes)
This natural bushland walk meanders through a range of different habitats including Grassy Woodland and Gully Woodland, continuing to the Kur-Bur-Rer Crossing (Koala Bridge) and look out. The trail ascends on a steep incline, rising to 120 metres above sea level through the Stringybark woodland, before returning to the dam wall, via Turtle Track. Look and listen for the numerous native birds.
Please note that the trail surface is natural, uneven and very steep in areas. It is not wheelchair or pram accessible.
Dam Wall Walk (450m, 10 -15 minutes)
Experience the magnitude of the reserve on this easy walk to the water body. Look and listen for the numerous water birds. If you’re lucky you may even spot the elusive Australasian Bittern. On a clear day the city skyline and Port Phillip Bay is visible to the north.
For all ages and abilities.
Heathland Walk (1.5km, 45 minutes)
Every day of the year you can spot something different in the bush. From the Tea-tree in bloom to an amazing diversity of native orchids and lilies, this trail traverses ideal habitat for native animals and the rare Damp Heathland vegetation.
Please note that the trail surface is natural and uneven. It is not wheelchair or pram accessible.
