Absolutely beautiful little pocket of bushland! I parked near the Leisure centre, made my way down the walking track and down to Mortlock reserve and then back up again. Not too crowded and lots of puppies encountered along the way! So peaceful and serene
Lovely walk , we walked down from Willoughby and I was surprised when we arrived at the beautiful park below the bridge. Restrooms: Rest rooms available next to playing oval.
It took the lockdown for me to explore my own backyard!!! I've taken so many people on this lovely walk. And extended it all the way to Tunks park.
Nice bushwalk or if you wanna run you can do that, this place is good to do both.
Nice bush walk with good views but not so friendly with young children.
One of our favourite walks in the area. Cross the river, hike up the hill, avoid the rocks, stones and roots. So much to see and walk through. Beautiful.
Quiet walking track down to creek and back up the other side - very peaceful fir a quick walk.
Enjoy it while you still can! It's heartbreaking to think that this incredible little pocket of bushland is facing imminent destruction. The NSW Government wants to bulldoze a large tract of community land around Flat Rock Drive to construct the Beaches Link. They are proposing to use either the baseball diamond area in Bicentennial Reserve on Flat Rock Drive or the Flat Rock Gully bushland on the other side of the Drive. Both Bicentennial Reserve and Flat Rock Gully are important open space and community resources used by many groups in the community. Flat Rock Gully is a critical part of the wildlife corridor in our district and is recognised for its biodiversity and as one of the last refuges for our fast disappearing small native bird population. It also provides a habitat for foraging powerful owls, swamp wallabies, lyrebirds and many other native animals. Here are just a few of the known negative impacts of the tunnel construction on our community: * around 6 acres of well-used community space will be taken over by tunnel construction for 6 or more years * for Flat Rock Gully this means the removal of hundreds of native trees and the bulldozing of bushland, seats, paths, lawns and creek works * Willoughby City Council and many dedicated volunteers have worked for 25 years to remediate this bushland * there is no guarantee that the Flat Rock Gully site will be returned to bushland. The RMS has offered to leave buildings and cleared areas to be used for other purposes * the RMS has advised that there will be over 70 truck movements an hour carrying contaminated spoil through our already congested local roads and near local schools. They will operate from 7am to 11pm Monday to Friday and for the first half of Saturday every week for 6 years or more * the tunnel will be dug through toxic fill from the old tip site. The ground is unstable and the tip is known to contain asbestos and other toxic material * there will be risks of air, land, noise and water pollution from the tunnel activities to nearby homes and schools and more broadly to the Willoughby district and surrounding areas including Middle Harbour * similar concerns about congestion and the movement of contaminated spoil also arise in relation to the Western Harbour Tunnel * the tunnel will include unfiltered stacks; some situated near local child care centres and schools as well as local streets * the NSW Government has not considered any options other than a motorway tunnel to address the traffic congestion this proposal is supposed to relieve. The Infrastructure Australia website shows that no business plan has ever been submitted. In an era where we know so much about climate change, we need to be looking for best practice options that manage population growth whilst reducing our carbon footprint and protecting our environment. Razing this important green corridor is simply not an acceptable solution.
Great little walk for kids. Such a shame the river has a lot of debris, especially after heavy rains.
A hidden treasure enjoyed by the locals. A great little bush walk or running trek where you can get away from surrounding city scape. The surrounding forest with sounds of running streams and various birds provide your mind with a natural escape.
