Trails

Gum Grove Trail
Bush Walk
500 metres

This short 500m return trail winds through a shady grove of river red gums with some steps, loose rocks and slippery surfaces. Turn around when you reach the edge of the shady gum trees and return to the carpark. Its main point of interest is an expansive grove of mature river red gums which attract the birdlife.
