  • Access

    Located at the top end of Ross Creek area. If you head up Malvern Ave from town and then up Fulton Rd, the small car parking area is just at the top corner of the road.

    Only a small area to park off the road. Residential streets around area, so facilities to park a little further away if needed.

  • Staying Safe

    Moderate.

    Generally good.

    Windproof jacket, Beanie/thermal headwear, Whistle, First aid kit, Extra food for emergencies, Cellphone, Map.

    Some water early on in the Pineapple Track, a wee fountain before you get to the water treatment plant.

    Can be pretty exposed up on the ridges in winter, with snow/ice a possibility.

    Lots of wood logs placed on Swampy Ridge section of track to help maintain it, but have to be careful of footing.
