Begin the circuit walk at the Nature Trail sign in the lower Distillery Creek Picnic Ground. Turn left as directed by the trail sign and follow the track around until it returns you to your starting point.

You will cross a well-formed track, Ironbark Drive, in two places. The first section of the trail takes you through the ironbark forest with its understorey of Dusty Miller and Hazel Pomaderris. In late winter and spring the delightful yellow flowers of the Prickly Moses and Varnish Wattles will be flowering together with the glorious white flowers of the Dusty Daisy-bush and nearer the ground the white starry flowers of the Prickly Starwort. Tall Greenhoods are plentiful along the sides of the trail and the rarer, Brown-tipped Greenhood has some fine colonies.

Once you come to the Currawong Falls Track that goes off to the left you will notice a marked change in the vegetation, with Swamp Gums, peppermints, messmates, Manna Gums and tall Mountain Grey-gums appearing.

There is a viewing spot above Distillery Creek. The creek is often dry but you may be fortunate enough to see water there.

There is a boardwalk to protect the damper environment from being trampled along the edge of Distillery Creek.

Once back at the Picnic Ground it is interesting to notice the grey-brown furrowed trunks of the ironbarks compared with the blackened ones that were burnt in the 1983 bushfires. You may like to sit near the waterhole and observe the birds that frequent the area. You are almost certain to see honeyeaters, Superb Fairy-wrens, Eastern Yellow Robins and Grey Fantails. Perhaps you might see an Eastern Spinebill.

Take a moment to stop and look from the treetops to the forest floor.
