Jack Evans Walking Track

A short but physical Glenbrook route with bushland, rock platforms and creek-country scenery.

Route overview

Descend a formed, stepped track through Blue Labyrinth bushland toward Erskine Creek.

Jack Evans Walking Track descends through open forest toward the creek environment of the Blue Labyrinth. Although officially Grade 3 and short, the many steps, rock-hopping context and remote-feeling endpoint require appropriate footwear and a clear return plan.
