The Pimelea Loop is the perfect place for the whole family to get back to nature. View the results of our bush regeneration program which began in the 1990s to save the Cumberland Plain Woodland, which is endemic to the area and endangered. An easy yet rewarding path - lined by fields of tall bluebells which bloom any time of the year after rain - Pimelea links Lizard Log and the Dairy with playgrounds, lookouts and waterways.

How a track gets its grade

The grading system assesses a walk’s difficulty based on several criteria, including: experience required, steps, gradient, path quality, and signage. A walk’s final grade is based on the most difficult of these 5 criteria, rather than an average. So some walks will have criteria that meet an easier grade.
