BUSHCARE
WALKING TRACKS INBONNET BAY AND JANNALIOver time Sutherland Shire Council Bushcare
and its volunteers have developed a network of
walking tracks through the bushland reserves
of Bonnet Bay and Jannali. These tracks pass
through three large bushland reserves where a
range of Sydney’s ecological communities
can be experienced.
Sutherland Shire COUNCIL
THE GLEN RESERVE
The tracks through The Glen Reserve take you through dry Sydney sandstone country and then follow the creek through the paperbark forest to a necklace of she-oaks which border the mangroves in the tidal reaches of Bonnet Bay. There is a short boardwalk which lies on the border between the she-oak forest, which thrives in the brackish water influenced by the salty Woronora River, and the paperbark forest, influenced by the freshwater creek.
Wallabies, echidnas and a wide range of bird species have been seen in The Glen Reserve including the threatened Powerful Owl.
KOOLANGARRA RESERVE
The track skirts the mangroves and moves up onto a rock platform that overlooks Bonnet Bay. This part of Koolangarra Reserve is dry and exposed. You can see Flannel flowers and Geebungs here. As you walk south it feels as though you are entering a rainforest. Cheese trees and figs line the creek and water vine scrambles over the tree canopy.
You can exit the reserve via steps at Arthur Street or continue south through Koolangarra Reserve where you will find ‘Black Hand Cave’. The original inhabitants of the area were the Dharawal people. Hand prints can be seen in this cave and a midden exists at its entrance.
BURNUM BURNUM SANCTUARY
The majority of the tracks are located on the dry sandstone ridgetop with wonderful views of the Woronora River. In spring, there is a spectacular display of wildflowers in this part of the reserve. There are wattles, boronias and tea trees among scribbly gums and bloodwoods. Sugar gliders have been seen feeding on the sap of the bloodwoods at dusk. The southern-most track descends to the Woronora River and Burnum Burnum Sanctuary playground area.
Remember to wear sturdy shoes, carry drinking water and a mobile phone. The tracks are not graded and may be uneven in places. There are steep cliffs in the reserves.
