ABOUT MOGGS CREEK OCEAN VIEW WALK:

A walk with spectacular coastal views through drier forest areas of ironbarks, messmates, peppermints, Mountain Grey-gums and Southern Blue-gums above a varying understorey. There are some fine stands of Austral Grass-trees, and small terrestrial orchids can be seen in winter and spring. Birds include the rare Rufous Bristlebird, Eastern Yellow Robins, White-throated Treecreepers and Grey Shrike-thrushes. Easy to moderate.

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.
