The 1.6km Bellbird walking track meanders through dense forest in southwestern Sydney's Leacock Regional Park.
The track is true to its name - you'll hear the call of bell miners echoing through the trees and whipbirds often join the chorus, creating a lovely rainforest feel. Feel the temperature drop as you stride beneath the canopy and keep your eyes open for wildlife.
This short track is popular with locals, who use it as a scenic shortcut to and from Casula station. Once you've finished walking, why not pop over to the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre for a coffee at The Powerhouse Café?
The track can be slippery after rain, so take care
