An easy walk that can be enjoyed by pretty much everyone, the Finchley cultural walk gives people a real understanding and respect for one of the best Aboriginal sites in Australia, the Finchley Aboriginal engravings.
It's a short walk with informative signs along the way giving insight into the Aboriginal culture of the area.
Come in spring or autumn when conditions are ideal in this lush bushland setting. When the sun is out, you'll see heaps of goannas, and, in spring, the red and yellow grevilleas and cream and yellow geebungs add gorgeous colour to what is already a stunning landscape.
