Gibberagong Track & Bobbin Head Hike

🥾 Join Us for the Gibberagong Track & Bobbin Head Trail Loop

This circuit is a peaceful yet enriching way to experience bushland near the city edge. We’ll begin with the Gibberagong Track, following Cockle Creek through dense bush and saltwater wetlands, elevated boardwalks and a peaceful waterhole. Crabs, herons, ibises and even kingfishers often greet us along the way. After a riverside break we'll then loop back via Bobbin Head Trail and the ridge fire trails, gradually returning to where we began.
