Paths and walks

There are several walks around the Habitat to take in the various eco systems.

The boardwalks provide easy access and meander throughout. these were built primarily by Volunteers with assistance from Tafe students, Port Stephens Council and various Landcare groups

 The construction involves careful planning to minimise disturbance to the Native vegetation, awareness of water flow in heavy rain, Fauna habitats and life cycles, If that isn't enough we also need to provide access for Fire and other emergency vehicles to the site.

Generators are used for power tools but apart from that luxury it is a manual task.

Minimising erosion is another important consideration for us

Construction also involves bridge building in some areas. Although we are a relatively flat reserve waterways need to be able to continue unimpeded.

Some jobs just take on a mammoth proportion when nature decides to have her way.

Designing areas such as "The Hub" was a major venture and thank you to all those bodies who made it possible.

The Hub now has History, information on the posts and is definitely worth a stop to see.
The history of the area and time lines contain a wealth of information

All this work amounts to the ability to view Nature  and our beautiful waterways up close and personal

Seating is provided along the paths for a rest and a chance to just sit and admire what is around you

 Tranquility, Soldier Crabs, flora, fauna  and harmony. It is a delightful walk and one that is taken regularly by locals

 The view from "Birdsong Boardwalk" is a favourite amongst visitors and members alike.

"Blue Wren Bridge" leads you to this and the wrens can be seen hopping about as well as Pardalopes

 This bridge is our latest pride and joy, Designed and constructed by our "Monday and Tuesday" volunteers with the assistance of Dick for engineers advice.

and of course, there are the Koala sightings
