From the car park just off Orr oral Road the track leads up to a saddle via a series of stone and timbe r steps. The track then flattens out with boardwalks and stepping stones across boggy areas. There are some massive granite boulders along the w ay and as well as opportunities for bird watching. We will have morning tea at a flattish area just above the main part of the swamp before retu rning back to the cars by the same track. FYI Nursery Swamp is better de scribed as a large fen i.e. a peat-accumulating wetland.
