Summary
Designed for people with limited mobility, the Loo-Errn track follows Tidal River mostly along a boardwalk that protects the fragile wetlands. It is a wonderful walk!
Description
Designed for people with limited mobility, the Loo-Errn track follows the south bank of Tidal River and provides access to the Tidal River footbridge. A short boardwalk (with platforms allowing access for fishing) protects the fragile wetlands. Start at the picnic area in the carpark opposite the Visitor Centre or at First Ramp on the west end of 6th Avenue.
It is great to walk anytime, but dawn and sunset is particularly good as you are more likely to see more animals such as wombats and, unfortunately, pests like deer.
