Bottlebrush Walk
Best for: Bushwalking
Classification: Grade 3
Distance: 235m one way
Walking time: 8 minutes
Description: This short walk is named after the Bottlebrushes (Callistemon sp.) that grow along the creek and produce brilliant bottlebrush-like red flowers most of the year. The walk starts as soon as the metal platforms is crossed and goes uphill following a set of rock steps that go parallel to the Bald Hills Creek. The first half of the track is narrow and you pretty much brush yourself with the vegetation. The track then opens to a firebreak where you can choose to turn right to the Montivaga Walking Circuit or to continue along the firebreak and reach the Tea Tree Walk. Both walks take you back to the creek where you started.
