Porter Ridge Fire Trail to O'Hara's Creek
A large variety of local wildflowers, tall trees, valley and district views. This is a lovely walk along a sandstone ridge with significant sandstone ridgetop vegetation and down into a valley of tall trees. O’Hara’s Creek is named after James O’Hara, who is the first documented settler in the area. The creek rises near Round Corner in Dural and flows into Cattai Creek near Maraylya Bridge.
The walk starts at the end of Porter’s Road Kenthurst and proceeds along a level fire trail through stands of Bloodwoods (Corymbia eximia), Grey Gums (Eucalyptus punctata) and Casuarinas. This area was burnt by wildfires in 1992 and 2002. A little further on there is a track to the Pistol Club on the right. The vegetation opens out further along the track and depending on the season there will be Grevilleas, Banksias, Boronias, many species of pea flowers , Flannel Flowers and several species of Wattle flowering. There are also stands of Scaly Barks (Eucalyptus squamosa) which is a Eucalypt only found in Kenthurst on sandstone ridges. It is easily identified by its scaly bark and red stems.
