A small bush reserve is judged on its tracks, its shade and how easily it can be reached on foot. Clay tracks can turn slippery after rain, so sturdy shoes make a real difference. Short loops suit a quick walk with children or a dog, while longer tracks need more time and water. Regulars often walk early in the day, when the bush is quiet and the birds are most active.
For a short walk in native bush near Murrays Bay, Speedy Bush Reserve is worth a visit.
