Notes:
The very unremarkable mowed parkland shouldn't dissuade you, the rocky escarpment next to the creek remains a beautiful spot, albeit a difficult traverse if you aren't accustomed to boulder hopping. Various revegetation works are obvious in the planted shrubs and trees (which are mostly not out of place in a rocky riparian escarpment like this). Among them are clumps of the Small-flower Flax-Lily (Dianella brevicaulis), scattered Austral Stork's-Bill (Pelargonium australe), and near the playground at the north, a prolific patch of Yellow Rush-Lily (Tricoryne elatior). A small rabbit-proof fence at the top of the escarpment's southern end, overlooking a bend in the creek, contains a tiny patch of restored grassland.
Key features:
