Bobbin Head is a stunning location within the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. The Gibberagong EEC building is our school building and is available all year round for overnight stays. The Bobbin Head area is a popular picnic area on the banks of Cowan Creek. It has a large grassed playing area as well as easy access to a variety of habitats including mangroves, dry eucalypt forest and rainforest. A boardwalk provides easy access across the mangroves and along the delightful Cockle Creek.
