Glow worms can only be seen after dark, and a torch (or two) is essential. It is easiest when each person has a torch. Where shoes suitable for slippery mossy rocks.Please be quiet and turn your torches off when you reach the actual glen, as the glow worms can be harmed by bright light.
A fantastic birdwatching walk, Thirlmere Lakes walking track is unmarked but well-defined. Setting out from Couridjah picnic area, the flat, enjoyable 6km loop joins Dry Lakes Road and passes Werri Berri picnic area and Heritage Pump Station as you return along Slades Road. Even though there's no directional signage, you'll have no trouble finding your way.
A short walk to a nice lookout
Glenbrook Lagoon is a rare upland wetland that is one of only three of its kind in the entire Hawkesbury-Nepean System. The Lagoon provides habitat for flora and fauna species that are otherwise unusual in the area, however the ecosystem values of the lagoon are degraded by the level of urbanisation in the catchment.
This walk takes you to Horseshoe, Glow-worm Glen, Oakland and Burgess Waterfalls.
This track takes you along a management trail across a ridge to the falls lookout. It then continues downwards to the base of the falls, a popular swimming hole. The name "Minnehana" has been spelled differently over the years. The name is derived from Longfellow's poem "Hiawatha" where the principal character is the girl Minnehaha, a name meaning "laughing water".

If you've ever climbed Mt Walsh and stood out on the huge north bluff. You'd have looked down at the " four sisters " and drooled at the rocky boulders and peaks beyond.
This new track that my friends and I are marking out, turns Mt Walsh summit into an awsome through walk.
Great, but long and difficult walk from O'Reily's, following a path down to Blue Pool, then a run down path that's hard to find in some sections down to stairway falls. Goes though a lot of great scenery and you should definitely be prepared for your feet to get wet as you need to continually cross the creek to keep on path.
