Dog rules

If your dog is in a public place it must be under the effective control of a competent person by means of an adequate chain, cord or leash. Dogs are prohibited in children's play areas, food preparation/consumption areas, recreation areas, public bathing areas, school grounds, child care centres, shopping areas, and wildlife protection areas. Dog faeces must be removed immediately. (Source: City of Ryde — Responsibilities of Pet Owners, ryde.nsw.gov.au.)

Unexpected find when we started on this walk. Very nice short walk for the location and it feels like you've left Sydney on parts of the walk. There were some mosquitos so wear some insect repellent.

Situated between houses and Kitty's Creek reserve. Plenty of plants 🪴 but I couldn't find many walking tracks.

Great place to spot all sorts of wild mushrooms in warmer weather after lots of rain. Cute little waterfall.
