Starting from the car park on Daranda Terrace, Milang, this walk follows the former railway line from Milang to Sandergrove via the Nurragi Conservation Reserve Walking Trail. As you walk along the path, you’ll discover many of the signs of the railway line that used to run here. About halfway through the trail, at the site of the former Nurragi Station, there is a picnic spot with benches and tables. The picnic spot provides lots of information, including maps of the trail, details on flora, fauna and history, and brochures for walkers. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
