Two Rivulets Circuit

 Two Rivulets Circuit 

Risdon Vale

From the parking spot on Grasstree Hill Road we followed the path around and into Fuchsia Road which led us up Grasstree Hill Rivulet. 

When we reached the barrier at Magnolia Road we split with half going onwards and upwards and others taking a shorter route.

We met up again on Sycamore Road for the walk down Risdon Vale Creek.

Poimena Reserve

From Beedhams Reserve parking we wended our way through streets to Roseneath Park. The hill up to Poimena reserve has become a lot steeper and longer since we last did it, so we cut our walk short.
