Walking Zillmere: the local loops
Zillmere Waterholes Park — A pleasant loop around a series of waterholes, offering views of local birdlife and open green spaces. Lead-on throughout unless council signage says otherwise. Benches and shade appear often enough for a slow dog.
Downfall Creek Cycle and Walking Path — Follows Downfall Creek with a paved path, passing through natural bushland and connecting several local parks. Lead-on throughout unless council signage says otherwise. Benches and shade appear often enough for a slow dog.
O'Callaghan Park — A large suburban park with open fields, shaded areas, and a perimeter path suitable for a leisurely walk. Lead-on throughout unless council signage says otherwise. A coffee stop is never far on the way back.
