fern filled Swaines Creek reveals a quieter, more serene and peaceful part of Chatswood.

Track length: Approximately a 4 km return trip.
Track grade: Easy to medium (Level 2, see notes below) – on unsealed bush tracks with steep steps in sections. Sturdy shoes are required.

Level 2: (No bushwalking experience required. The track is hardened or compacted surface and may have a gentle hill section or sections and occasional steps. Walks no greater than 10km.)

SPOT a FERN!

There will be a ‘Spot a Fern’ Game to encourage active observation of the environment.

Time: 1 hr. 45 min. (including photo breaks and morning tea but excluding lunch)

Meeting point: Bartels Park, near 22 Edgar St Chatswood.

Suggestions for lunch: Picnic at Bartels Park, Chatswood. Bring your own lunch and a snack (fruits or nibbles). A short break for morning tea and water at O.H. Reid Memorial Park near the Lane Cove River.
