Lots of species flowering and will be booming in a few weeks.Bud buds and more buds for the Orchid lovers.
A gem in the heart of the south west.Walker friendly and wheelchair/buggy friendly in certain areas.You didn't have to go far to see the variety of wildflowers flowers.. Bobtails sunning themselves,magpies feasting and kangaroos hopping

Easy walk, dog friendly.
Regular walker on the trek with my dog.
From winter onwards you will see lots of types of orchids until summer.
Fauna aplenty to see.
Only drawback, is lots of hares are starting to infest the area.
Plenty of areas you can walk besides the regular trail.
