Adventure: Doonside Creek at Baulkham Hills
Even though some sections of the walk were too wet to explore, we got lucky with the weather - not too hot, not too windy and no rain. A lovely group of people all enjoying the reserve and happily pointing out special things for everyone to enjoy. This included a kookaburra, a bowerbird, wrens, bell birds, insects and various features of the many plants surrounding us. Our guide for this walk was Jennifer.
