"Amazing experience with a nice bush walk on the top great guide to show us around. There are all types of animals. Have to just be patient and keep and eye out. Say kangaroos. Drove down and had a coffee at the river side while u can fish and kids can play in the play area. Great fun for the family and elderly alike. There is a barbecue and picnic area aswell. You can choose to trek as much as u like 500m to 5km It's open Bush land and one of the largest national reserves closest to the city just 30km. Great experience would definitely go again."
"Short easy walk with wonderful views, wildlife and educational info. Great for kids. There is a trail down to bobbin head from the car park if you feel up for a bush walk"
