Star Swamp is a bushland reserve with plenty of trails for multiple route choices.

This is a loop starting and finishing at the Henderson Environmental Centre. Take the Star Swamp Heritage Trail north and follow it in a big circle until you get back to the start.

There are many trail junctions and not all are signposted, so if you want to follow the route exactly it's best to take the GPX. Dogs are welcome and must be on a lead.

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.

There is some parking at the end of Groat Street, but it can get quickly full on weekends and holidays..
