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.
There is some off road space behind the bus stop at the entrance, or you can park on Ashbury Ave and walk down Silverdale Road. Public buses 17 and Meteor stop at the trail.

Lots of leaf litter in autumn/winter make it slippery underfoot.
