   Field of Mars circuit via Strangers Crk, Wallumatta NR, Kittys Crk, Magdala Park, Buffalo Crk Res. The Doyle Loop past caves, gullies and interesting rock outcrops. The vegetation along most of the track is Sydney Sandstone Gully Forest with its Banksias, Angophoras and diverse shrub understorey. Enjoy a shady walk along the coolness of Strangers Creek surrounded by Sydney Sandstone Gully Forest. Strangers Ck has numerous water holes and rainforest species including magnificent Treeferns, Coachwood and Lillypilly trees. Be sure to
listen out for frogs. Look out for the long necked turtle, water dragons, ducks and eels. The boardwalk through the mangroves gives excellent access to the mangrove forest. At low tide visitors can observe animals such as crabs and snails, during a spring high tide the area is crowded with hungry fish. It is an excellent site to observe the contrast between wet and dry environments. Magdala Park is part of a large bush corridor running beside the Lane Cove River.
