This short one-way walk in Morton National Park starts at the amphitheatre car park, goes through the beautiful Ferntree Gully to get to the Riverview Lookout and picnic area. A lovely way to enjoy the forest, birds and views. Logistically it is normally easier to allow the extra time and return to your car the same way. Let us begin by acknowledging the Gundungurra people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
