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.

I recently did this walk and thought to myself it would be a perfect summer trip with the option of bringing a lilo or to simply swim many of these outstandingly beautiful pools as we make our way along the spectacular Kangaroo Creek. So bring along your sense of adventure and we will walk, swim, paddle our way down this watercourse. Rock scrambling and a rough track in parts.

Branch |
| General Community Event |
  1=7. One Dreaming Creation story. Seven walks. Seven days. Seven sisters. Seven rivers/creeks. Seven valleys. Up to 70,000 years. Seven million stars. A photographic journal of listening/learning at camps and along ancestral pathways in Gundungurra Country (Southern Blue Mountains).
Our speaker, Yvonne Kaiser-Glass, is an archaeologist who has been privileged to be invited over the past 7 years, to participate in a 7-day off-track walk through Gundungurra Country in the southern Blue Mtns. Its premise is you have to walk Country to understand Country and from that respect follows.
This talk promises to bring a unique insight into areas of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area that most of us will never see.
Due to COVID, attendance is limited to 30, so booking is desirable, just by replying to this email or by the phone number below. Those attending must be double vaccinated. Entry is by gold coin donation.
Presented by the Macarthur Branch of the NPA. For further information, contact Julie on 0418 278753.
