Starting from the car park near Kambah Pool Southern Beach, Kambah, this route takes you to Pine Island Reserve via the Murrumbidgee Discovery Track. With a beach on both ends, this riverside walk can make for a great weekend trip with the family. There are various canoe entry points and cute little swimming spots along with a variety of viewpoints, providing you gorgeous views over the river. Birdwatching can be quite fruitful as you have a chance to see a Peregrine Falcon around Red Rocks Gorge, the fastest bird in the world with a mind-blowing maximum speed of 390km/h. Yellow-faced Honeyeaters are also known to migrate through the area in autumn. Additionally, the reserve is home to some fluffy wombats which can induce a desire to pick them up and rock them like a baby. Please refrain yourself from doing so. Keep in mind that this walk can be done in reverse and is a part of the 28 km Murrumbidgee Discovery Track. There are no trash bins present, so prepare accordingly.
