"400m of a flat walk along boardwalks, sandy trails, and fun round cement steps.
The paperbark trees are mature and confident in their place. Lots of ferns cover the forest floor and hug the base of trees.
The light shifts constantly here with the wind allowing rays of sun to cast through to the lower forest below, an ever changing natural lightshow.
Highly enjoyable easy walk."

"So enjoyed this little gem! Was a great little family experience.
It has a variety of walking ground to not disturb natural growth. Like partial two slate wide board walks and stepping stones through at times water. So it would be wise to be with young ones that are confident walkers the same with elderly.
My only negative is, I wish it was longer, I was enjoying it so much!
The town itself has many things to offer like cafes and other many natural beauties. A must visit!"
