Walking Track to Manly Dam — Attraction in Sydney

It was 4 hours of total time from city, walking to the waterfall and return to city on a nice beautiful Sunday. A bit muddy from time to time as it was a day after the rain but it was rewarded by strong cool waterfall sound.

Kids could find some dragonflies and tadpoles, even some baby ferns. a lovely place to bushwalk on a bright sunny weather. cool breeze all along...

They do ask that you don't feed to ducks, especially bread which...
