Summary
Summary
This is a small forest planted over 100 years ago by Walter Burley Griffin. It is a pleasant place to visit on a hot Summer's day as there is plenty of shade.
There is sealed road/path through the centre of the forest, but the walking path is off to the sides.
Redwood trees have been planted over the site, and they are denser on the left hand side providing a lot of shade and the opportunity for more classic forest photos. There are a lot of dead-looking trees on the site, but many of them are regenerating or shooting from the roots. It looks like an irrigation system has been installed to protect the trees from future droughts.
The hiking trail is through grassland and it weaves through the trees in a big circle. The trail is flat and the surface is good. At worst, you are walking through knee-high grass.
There are no toilets here.
