trees. It reflects the luxuriance of the surrounding plants, like the majestic moss and

From the Monda Road (Track) parking area the Tanglefoot Track goes north, dropping steadily through mountain ash, tree ferns and silver wattles towards Sylvia Creek. From here the track continues up to the junction with the track from Tanglefoot Car Park.
