Track Notes Turn by turn instructions & maps

Getting started
From the end of Jennifer St (near Marconi Pl), Little Bay, this walk follows the concrete footpath between the timber bollards (1.7m gap), past the 'Botany Bay National Park - Jennifer Street Lands' sign. After about 25m, the walk passes the large sheltered 'Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub' sign shelter to find a timber seat. The timber boardwalk leads gently downhill through the dense heath for about 160m to pass the fenced 'revegetation area'. The boardwalk continues to lead through the forest with the occasional water glimpses for another 80m where the path starts to lead moderately steeply downhill for about 15m before starting to mostly level out again. At the end of the timber boarwalk, the walk follows the concrete path to find another timber seat. From here the walk continues along the footpath for 35m to pass the 'Jennifer Street Boardwalk' sign, head through the narow timber bollards and come to Cape Banks Rd, La Perouse next to the golf course.....
