Wahroonga Reserve

Starting from North Bobbin Head Road, North Turramurra, this walk takes you through Wahroonga Reserve, crossing Lovers Jump Creek, Cayleys Brook and Frasers Brook along the way. Wahroonga Reserve is a natural oasis showcasing the sandstone bushland's beauty and tranquil creekside trails. As you explore this reserve, you'll be treated to stunning views that stretch towards the picturesque Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. The reserve is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including rare bird species. Along the way, you'll be delighted by the vibrant display of wildflowers that adorn the landscape, creating a kaleidoscope of colours amidst the tall eucalyptus trees. Dogs are permitted on-lead here, allowing you to enjoy the experience with your furry companion. 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.
