20260419 Walk and Wonder : Blackman Park Tannery Creek Loop
About
Starting at Blackman Park we make our way to Lovetts Reserve. This rocky track traverses the hill to the South of Blackman Park, offering expansive views over the Lane Cove River. It passes through beautiful sandstone vegetation including Angophora costata and Xanthorrhoea. In the mid and under storey you will see various Acacias, Persoonia pinifolia and Crowea flowering abundantly. The track then hugs a high, mossy cliff with sundews (Drosera sp.) and Epacris longiflora between the ferns.At The Boreen, the site of an old cottage above the river, we’ll walk East to Burns Bay Rd and across to Waterview.
Situated along Burns Bay, Waterview offers a scenic, tranquil cut-through to Burns Bay Reserve. This spacious, flat and grassy park on the shore of the Lane Cove River is the ideal spot for us to take a break.
Lillypillies, tree ferns and stunning Red Gums are some of the habitat highlights of Tannery Creek. Possums, scrub-wrens and even the threatened Powerful Owl make use of this bushland reserve. We’ll make our way through as far as College Rd N and then on to Radke Walk - a pedestrian shortcut from Penrose St to Burns Bay Rd.
This is a moderate walk on a mixture of bush track and hard surface.
Hot and Cold will be available
at the end of the walk.
