Griffiths Trail

Barren Grounds Nature Reserve is near Robertson  on the Jamberoo Pass Rd. Griffiths Trail is an 8klm loop through the heath, woodland and rainforest on this plateau overlooking the Illawarra and kangaroo Valley.
A  great place for birders to see the Eastern bristlebird and ground parrot. I dipped on the ground parrot but great views of the Eastern Bristlebird.







Eastern Bristlebird habitat at the start of the walk.

Red-browed Treecreeper and Varied Sittella in the woodland towards Natural Bridge.


Natural Bridge where the creek flows under the rocks. 





Nice time of the year for wildflowers, although probably a bit early for the full display. 



Saddleback Trig views 



Lake Illawarra from the trig

A nice taste of what the park has to offer. I'll be back for more.
