Bobbin Head Loop

Not wanting to travel too far for a walk, it was time to walk from North Turramurra to Bobbin Head and back. I left the car at the Sphinx carpark and walked back through North Turramurra to the start of the Murrua Trail. It then links up with the Gibberagong Track and follows Cockle Creek down to Bobbin Head. From Bobbin Head I took the Warrimoo Track along Cowan Creek and then the steep Spinx track back to the car. 13.7klm for the round trip.

Murrua Trail meets the Gibberagong Track where a side creek comes in to a nice pool on Cockle Creek. A week of good rain had more water flowing than my last visit (Gibberagong Waterholes)


Continueing down the creek with little cascades and boulder strewn pools until the tidal influence is reached and it becomes broader and sandier. 











Lace Monitors abound. 

 Looking down at the Bobbin Heads Picnic Grounds. 

Mangrove boardwalk and a bridge to get me across the creek into Bobbin Head, 



After morning tea it was off through the marina to the start of the Warrimoo Track along Cowan Creek. 

Looking across to Duffy's Wharf  .

After a lot of steps it was back to the Sphinx, carved by a returned soldier who was recuperating at a nearby rehabilitation hospital.
