Starting at Kangaroo park on Kangaroo Avenue, go through the large gate (it looks locked but you just need to lift the little slider up out of the hole).

Turn right to run along Boundary track on the left of the creek. Follow Boundary Track all the way along - there is a short out and back section for about 800m each way. On return from this, turn right onto Koala Track trail and then left at next intersection to stay on Koala Track.

Just after the 5km mark, take a left on Kangaroo trail which had a sign saying 'Management trail" and follow this around, taking another two left turns until rejoining the boundary track which takes you back to the starting point.

Lots and lots of wallabies, especially through the middle section.

If you know of any public toilets near the trail start or on the route, please login and then let us know so we can update this section.
