Meet and park cars along Toronto Rd, Chandler.  To get there travel on Old Cleveland Rd, then take Tinchborne St or Camrose St, northern side of Tingalpa Creek.

There are Council track entrances along Toronto Rd and we will start at the trail head (close to the sign) and do a circuit to come back to the cars.

Bring chairs to have morning tea back at the cars.  The closest toilets are at MegaFresh SPAR near Caradoc St on Old Cleveland Rd.  There is a coffee shop (TMB) at the Caltex petrol station on Old Cleveland Rd.

The paths are grassy and could be muddy depending on previous rain.  There is a high chance of mosquitoes.
