Rhondda Bell

Spectacular, expansive views, plenty of room for sitting and picnicking. Just don't bring anything that can roll, like a ball. You might never see it again as the hill incline is very steep. Not for those with acute fears of heights. Wind sock to indicate breeze status. Excellent spot for airborne sport, but probably a few too many sightseers at times.

Lovely manageable walk with some uneven ground, tree roots, and stepping up&down, but mostly palm forest with a few strangler figs and gums. Enjoyable and not too long. Not too many people as there's no swimming holes etc.

We were the last to leave. Loved it. We entered the Sanctuary from the carpark nearest to Black Flats. The Vet centre was closed (Sunday afternoon). From the board walk we saw kangaroos, snake neck tortoises, a nesting swan pair, a bizarre looking (musk?) duck with huge wattles, doing a mating ritual on the water, a few fish and heaps of little birds. On the footpath, more birds kept us inspecting our surroundings (magpie geese, cormorant, parrots and many unfamiliar ones). A bandicoot crossed our path - something my daughter had never seen. The popularity of this great short walk venue means heavy footed people and can scare animals into hiding, so be patient. Please, also stick to the speed limit in the park. It's there for a reason.
