Trail summary
Hike overview
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.

Track grade
Grade 2 (Easy) -Â A Gentle Introduction to Inclines: Grade 2 on the AWTGS represents easy walking tracks that offer a slightly more challenging experience compared to Grade 1. Similar to Grade 1, no prior bushwalking experience is required. The track surface is typically hardened or compacted and may have gentle hill sections or occasional steps. The total distance of a Grade 2 walk is typically no greater than 10 kilometers. These walks are still suitable for families with a bit more experience or those seeking a gentle introduction to some inclines.
