Across the suspension bridge
Cross the suspension bridge will bring you to the start to the bushwalking area. Here you will find a quick 20 minute bushwalk and a 90 minute marked bush walk track. Discover the scribbly-ghost gums, many species of native trees and plants and of course, the wildlife. Look for the echidnas, lizards, wombats and kangaroos and wallabies.
