Description

Just south of the junction is a wooded hill with many rocks and fallen logs, which provides foraging habitat for birds including Brown Treecreeper, Hooded Robin and Diamond Firetail throughout the year. Further along Apollo Road there are a few scrubby paddocks that regularly attract mixed flocks of small birds including robins.
