What To Pack

Hazards & Warnings

Unsealed paths in Maidens Reserve have moderately steep sections. Mostly crushed limestone with some soft sand. Loose rocks, gravel and plant debris may pose a slipping or tripping hazard.

Be aware Maidens Reserve is a snake risk area. Snakes occur in this area and are an important part of our natural environment. Please stay on the paths. If you see a snake, remain calm. Avoid disturbing it and let it move away at its own pace.

Safety

Be smart and wear comfortable, sturdy shoes and sun protection. Avoid walking on hot days and take plenty of drinking water.

Biodiversity

Stay on the path and help prevent dune erosion and the spread of Phytophthora dieback, a disease that kills our native plants.
