Information
The Glenbrook area offers plenty of things to do and see all year round.Autumn
Enjoy a gentle stroll or get your heart pumping on a hike, trail run or mountain bike ride. May is prime time to see flocks of migrating red wattlebirds, honeyeaters and noisy friarbirds around Tunnel View lookout. After rain, you might also see colourful fungi around damp creek beds.Spring
As the weather warms, wildflowers bloom attracting birds (and photographers). Nepean lookout is a bird watcher’s paradise where you can spot silvereyes, thornbills, pardalotes, or peep-wrens. Across the heath and in the woodland you'll see pink boronias, white flannel flowers, waratahs, grass trees and the creamy spikes of woody pears. Orchids are at their best in October. If you’re lucky, you might see a purple fringe lilly which flowers only for a day.Summer
Escape the city for a relaxing picnic. If it’s safe, swim or lilo Glenbrook area’s serene natural pools. You might see azure kingfishers and peregrine falcons around Jellybean Pool. Clear your head on a bushwalk. Nepean River walking track heads through a narrow, shady canyon, where the sheer walls create a rainforest hothouse for ferns, towering lilli pilli and coachwood.Winter
Winter doesn’t have to mean staying in. Enjoy cool climate camping at Euroka or Murphys Glen campground. There are plenty of brisk walks and mountain bike trails nearby to warm you up, or sign up for a professional run or ride along Woodford-Oaks trail. After an active day, cook up a feast around the campfire as the night sky fills with stars. Keep an eye out for the local nightlife at Murphys Glen — you might spot possums, sugar gliders and bats.
