Parramatta Hills - Bushwalk Dundas POSTPONED

When
23 Apr 2022
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Location
Vineyard Creek Reserve Dundas

This walk is postponed due to track conditions. Contact the organiser for details of an alternative walk in April.

The walk will explore the upper valley of Vineyard Creek, a tributary of the Parramatta River. The creek is named for the vineyard which was established at its junction with the Parramatta River by Phillip Schaeffer in1790.

Where we will be walking is not country for planting grape vines. Be prepared for a steep walk down to a hidden fern gully and then along an easier walk to the dam created to provide water for the Oatlands Golf Course. Below the dam the walk is among tall trees - Blackbutts, Angophoras, Bloodwoods and Turpentines - in a beautiful shady valley. Some of the more interesting understorey plants include Trachymene incisa and Astroloma humifusum.

Meet at the entrance to the Reserve in Robert St Telopea.

All APS members welcome.
