This is a great walk and picnic spot for families. Children can play amongst the rocks and trees, fossick for spent bullets on the old rifle range bank, and do the attached scavenger search. The section of trail from the trail head to the information bay is wheelchair accessable.

The following interpretive signs are being installed soon (2022):

  • The arboretum: a giant display cabinet for trees
  • Monster mushrooms: the epic Phlebotus Marginatus
  • Unique eucalypts: the bud cap and the name
  • The rifle range: a bank built for bullets
  • Poison peas. a blessing and a curse
  • Binneringie Dyke: a vast and ancient fertility factor

A part of this trail is a shared walk/cycle trail. The cycle trail around the arboretum is gently sloping, making it suitable for learner cyclists.

Dogs on a leash are welcome. Please pick up after your dog.
