Tempe to Bexley North via Wolli Creek

The Tempe to Bexley North via Wolli Creek is a one-way walk starting from the Tempe train station car park, Marrickville. This walk takes you through the Wolli Creek Regional Park, a mix of natural and urban landscape. It is pet friendly (on-leash), so feel free to bring your furry friends along. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and keep an eye out for flying foxes and interesting bird species. The journey is surprisingly quiet, and there will be plenty of shade as you walk along the well-maintained track. The path can get muddy after rain. Keep in mind that pets are not permitted in stations and trains in NSW. 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.
