Guide

Cruisy trail through some restored native gully in Silverdale.

Start by the entrance at the intersection and follow the single trail. You will get to an intersection where there's a wooden bridge - keep right to stay on the trail. You will head up to the end of the track that reaches a stormwater reserve.

Turn back at this point, and retrace your steps to the start. If you want some bonus concrete hit up a loop of the reserve.

Restored native bush in the city.

None.

Penny Brown

This is a very cute little undulating gravel trail. Will definitely use this more now that I know it exists. Sure beats a town road run anyday! Can easily make it longer by continuing on the footpath at the far end.
