Tree Fern Walk

Tree Fern walk outlined in "Day Walks Melbourne"

Length: 9.3km, circuit
Duration: 3 1/2 hours
Region: Bunyip State Park


This was a really good short walk. I would definitely do this again. The variety of the walk was fantastic from dry brushland to 'rainforest' like gulleys. The "Tree Fern Walking" Track is one of the nicest parts of the walk. However, for anyone who does this walk there are a few things you should know. Firstly, some of the tracks are hard to find because they are obviously under utilised and overgrown. Parker Link Track is one of the tracks that is hard to find especially from Steege Road. Also, the other major thing to take note of is that Triangle Road and Link Road have been signposted by state parks as back to front in contradiction to what is shown on vicmap, melways, and google maps. In other words, some maps show Triangle Road as Link Road and Link Road as Triangle Road. Let's just say that this made us feel very lost when we came across "Link Road" . We thought that somehow the we were 2kms from where we should be and previously I was quite sure of where we were. Argghh! :)


Rating: Excellent.

You didn't say anything about the land leeches!!! We went this weekend and were attacked by land leeches. YUCK.

Otherwise the walk really was spectacular. We did the 2 shorter nature walks in this park.
