Description
A good option for a hot summer’s day, this level, shady track is popular with walkers, dog walkers and cyclists. For many Fern Tree and Neika residents this track is their access to the local shop - a fine alternative to a suburban footpath!
Towering tree ferns, small clear water creeks, plus the remains of the historic water supply pipeline can all be enjoyed along the way. Towards the middle of the walk you might like to pause and make a wish at the Wishing Well. During spring, the rhododendrons in the shady gardens that you pass along the way provide a colourful display.
