About

​This easy walk is sheltered from the coastal winds and provides a glimpse of Maria Island's wildlife and history. This walk is one of the best places to see the endangered forty-spotted pardalote. The walk takes you through open woodlands into t​all eucalypt forest, and returns via ruins from the old cement works. The area near the reservoir is a good place for a picnic in the bush. Cycling is only permitted on Southern track due to safety.
