ABOUT MOGGS CREEK NATURE WALK:

The Moggs Creek Nature Walk is a gentle loop through lush gullies, tall eucalypts, and dense fern undergrowth. Following the creek, the track crosses little wooden bridges and passes through shady rainforest-like sections alive with birdsong. With its short distance and minimal climbing, this is a peaceful and easy walk, perfect for slowing down, breathing in the fresh forest air, and connecting with nature at a relaxed pace.

FOOD + CUPPAS
After the walk, we’ll enjoy a BYO lunch at the picnic tables near the car park. I’ll bring the tea, coffee and hot chocolate.

CARPOOLING
Carpooling is a great way to save car park space, cut down our environmental footprint, and travel with new friends. Many of us come from similar areas, so please drop a note in the chat if you can offer a lift or need one.  It's great to offer a small contribution (or even a coffee) to your driver.
