We did the loop on a Sunday, starting from Riverside Walk Drive (entrance that is right next to De Burghs Cycleway) and walked all the way down to Carter's Creek picnic area and continued. Due to rain, the fish ladder was flooded and broken and so much water was flowing across. We then went onto Delhi Road and onto Lady Game Drive and entered Max Allen Drive and had lunch at the Cafe.

Shared that about a month ago, went back recently and was almost hit by a bike rider on a walking trail. Bikes are NOT permitted on walking trails, but be sure to keep your wits about you. I did see more wildlife today, including an echidna at the park entry and...
