Hike summary

Eastern Grey kangaroos can still be found in Boronia Bushland Reserve, one of the last large remnants of natural bushland in this area. As you meander through the park, look for some of nature's signposts, such as bandicoot diggings and scratch marks on trees from goannas, possums and koalas. You'll also find many magnificent Scribbly gums, identified by a multitude of scribbly lines covering the smooth grey trunks. These markings are often referred to as 'Nature's graffiti', and are formed by the larvae of a Longicorn beetle burrowing under the bark's surface.

Let someone know before you go

It’s a good idea to let someone know where you’re going. Fill in a trip intention form to send important details about your trip to your emergency contact. If you are lost or require help and have phone reception, call 000 and ask for police. The international standard emergency number is 112, if you dial this number in Australia you will be treated exactly the same as a 000 call.
