A short bush walk circuit along the Crooked Brook, past the billabong and through the magnificient jarrah forest. This trail is beautiful all year, with plenty of bird life including black cockatoos. It is superb is Spring when the wildflowers bloom. This trail is also dog friendly - please keep on a leash, as there are many kangaroos in the area.

Crooked Brook Forest is a beautiful recreation site situated just 25km from the centre of Bunbury, in the Shire of Dardanup and adjacent to the beautiful Ferguson Valley. This popular forest destination lies within State forest managed by the Department of Parks and Wildlife and has been developed by the local community into ‘a forest for all people’.
