Following Moores Creek this is a short trail largely through ferns and undergrowth. Unfortunately, at several points the falls and waterholes that the track passes have been polluted and smell.

The authors, staff and owners of wildwalks take care in preparing these notes but do not accept responsibility for any inconvenience, loss or injury sustained when using these notes.

Along the way the track passes by several small sidetracks down to the creek however these do not lead to anywhere.

Garigal National Park Check for park closures and fire bans

Largely following Middle Harbour Creek and stretching from Seaforth in the south to St Ives in the north Garigal National Park is hidden through Sydney's Northern suburbs. Despite how close it is to large urban centres Garigal is quite beautiful with lots of different walking and cycling tracks. For those just wishing to picnic Davidson Reserve is a great spot just next to Middle Harbour Creek, under the Roseville Bridge.

Cost to drive a car into the park (if you do not have a valid pass)

$7

Public toilets are available in the park
