WOLLI VALLEY DRAWING AT EARLWOOD LIBRARY

As a resident of Earlwood, living above Turrella Reserve, I feel very fortunate to live so close to the bushland of the Wolli Creek Regional Park. At TAFE in 2023, I created a large three-part drawing that features the cheeky birds who visit my home and also maps the narrow ribbon of bushland that helps local wildlife survive amidst the housing and development of ‘our hood’.

Starting on Monday 26 August, the library will be displaying this work for a month, including during Native Plant Giveaway Week. Earlwood Library, on the corner of William and Homer Streets, is only a ten minute walk from the bushland at Girrahween Park. So, if you get a chance, pop down and have a look at my drawing of our neighbourhood, and maybe go for a walk in the bush as well.

Walk in the Wolli Creek Regional Park from Bardwell Park to Tempe

Would you like to find out more about the Wolli Creek Valley Walking Track? This will be a leisurely Saturday morning bush walk from Bardwell Park to Tempe along the Wolli Creek Valley Walking Track. We will be starting at 9am sharp. This is a 3.5km walk designed for those who would like to see the Wolli Creek Valley at a leisurely pace.

The walk is almost entirely on unmade and uneven surfaces but is mostly level walking tracks although some areas may be eroded and/or be crossed by tree roots and require extra care to be taken. There are some minor ascents and descents, particularly the rocky ways up and down Nannygoat Hill but this is optional. You need to wear good walking boots or shoes, with a good gripping sole – sandals and thongs are absolutely not good enough.

Your walk leaders are volunteers with the Wolli Creek Preservation Society (WCPS). They will share their knowledge of this bushland, its cultural and environmental history, as well as information about the current issues facing the Wolli Valley and the bush regeneration (Bushcare) work the Society is undertaking.

This walk is free for members of the Wolli Creek Preservation Society, and bookings are required. If you are not currently a member, your ticket fee covers the cost of membership to the WCPS. Go to https://wollicreek.org.au/supp…for more information about membership.

This walk is not suitable for children under 10 years of age and all young people up to 17 years must be accompanied by an adult.
