Birdwing Circuit

Starting from Parkview Crescent, Cornubia, this circuit walk gives you a tour of the southwestern parts of Cornubia Forest, crossing California Creek and multiple streams along the way. The Birdwing Circuit, located in Cornubia Forest, offers a beautiful and varied experience that is excellent for trail running and exploring the local flora and fauna. Along the way, walkers can enjoy stunning views as they listen to the relaxing birdsong of one of the 50+ bird species residing in the area. Visitors have a chance to spot local wildlife, such as water dragons, koalas, bandicoots, wallabies, monitors, and goannas. However, it is essential to wear suitable shoes as there are heaps of tree stumps and loose gravel. The signage is not great, so keep the app/map open. Dogs are allowed on lead, and walkers should keep an eye out for mountain bikers sharing the trail. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
