This is a beautiful little walk, it is dog friendly and has a little creek (Woy Woy Creek) that the kids will love. The old quarry and its waterways are worth an explore with the lovely rock platforms. This is flat and good for beginners.

As it is mostly along firetrail, recommend a cooler day or going early in the morning or late in the afternoon. There are some surprising wildflowers along here from spring and into summer. Good for going spotlighting at night for frogs and other animals as well.
