This walk is popular with locals because it provides such beautiful variety of landscapes and links the western side of the park at North Nowra with the wonderful walks of the gorge and the park's attractive rainforest setting.
Setting out across open forested heath on the plateau, you'll enjoy the views of the gorge before descending to the cool shade of Bomaderry Creek. The flowers in spring are spectacular and the nectar-feeding birds, like honeyeaters, love them too.
Why not pack some lunch and link up with the longer She-Oak crossing walk just up stream from Mossy Gully? This walk takes you past Bomaderry Creek picnic area where you can enjoy lunch before returning back across the heath. Take a virtual tour of Falcon Crescent link track captured with Google Street View Trekker.
If you're linking with the gorge tracks, don't attempt to cross the creek after heavy rain.
Remember to take your binoculars if you want to birdwatch
