From the escarpment to your entrance

01

Name the location

The Castlecrag Northern Escarpment rises from Sugarloaf Bay. Council lists its location at Sunnyside Crescent. Distinguish a private address from a reserve lookout or foreshore sighting.

02

Describe the route in

Tell the team about stairs, a rear gate, a lower garden or a shared path. The street number alone may not identify the entrance closest to the snake.

03

Keep the last sighting useful

Record the wall, step, deck or planting bed where it disappeared. Leave rock gaps and stored materials untouched and stay out of bushland.

A tree snake in a front yard

Our Dorset Street report records a tree snake removed from a Northbridge front yard by an attending network catcher. The photographs show that job; they are not a Castlecrag sighting.

Castlecrag call-out questions

What if the snake is on the other side of a fence?

Keep both sides clear where possible. Do not reach through, cut the fence or try to push the snake back. Give the team the address and the side where it was last visible.

Can you attend a steep or shared-access property?

Explain the steps, slope and access restrictions when you call. The team can discuss what is needed before confirming the booking.

Looking for broader wildlife context? The mapped place point for Castlecrag falls in square H5 of our 2025 Sydney-region observation report. A suburb can extend into neighbouring squares; this is an orientation guide, not a suburb boundary map.

Counts apply to the whole square, not each suburb listed. A suburb appearing in a square does not mean a snake was recorded in that suburb. These are public observation records, not SITC call-outs, unique snake totals or a measure of danger.
