Macritchie Treetop Walk
Visited 01Jan23

*Stairs, to boardwalks, to well-run-in terrain.*

*Signs everywhere to assure you that you're still going in the right direction*

ABBATip:
- It is a one way loop. After crossing the suspension bridge, it's a good 2km to loop back to the ranger station of up and down.
- The difficulty level is low as paths are clearly demarcated with a good range of steps, and well-run paths.
- Secure sandals are sufficient but shoes preferred.
- Bring water as the only water spot and toilet facilities were at the ranger station.

- As always beware of your food items as the monkeys maybe aggressive in going for treats.

It would seem the nearest parking is from Venus Drive which is coincidentally also the entry point to Windsor Nature Park (Beautiful walks amongs nature that's well thought out, simple and scenic). Other ways to get closer to the treetop walk  is via drop off only along Island Club road.Be prepared for the long walk as there's minimal car access (escape via Taxi/Grab) once in the thick of the routing, one pretty much needs to march on. There's loads to see if looking and the variety in terrain does make the journey interesting. There are more challenging routes which also brings one to the treetop walk via different entrances so find one that suits your endurance level.

For a similar walk amongst the trees, which last longer and less taxing, one might consider checking out the Southern Ridges.

*Getting Tired and sneaking a rest*

More of a great accomplishment and fitness workout over the rewarding view from the treetop. As its one direction and heavy traffic flow, one can't dwell too long on the short 250m bridge. However enroute, the biodiversity offered in the park is always a fun sight to behold if looking.
