A 3 kilometre, moderate walking circuit through Crooked Brook Forest’s magnificent wildflower display. The higher section is an undulating forest walk to a beautiful lookout over the Crooked Brook valley and into Bunbury, while the lower section offers an easier walk. The lower section is also used by cyclists following the Munda Biddi Trail.

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 Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions and has been developed by the local community into ‘a forest for all people’. It provides access for elderly and disabled visitors as well as challenges for the more energetic walker.

Took about an hour. Had many varieties of wildflowers and was very colourful, but perhaps at this time of year the overall bloom density was lower than expected. Easy walk it was a good time.

Nice easy trail. I would recommend going left at the trail head so the lookout is towards the end of loop and not the start.

A nice short easy walking trail in the native bush land close to Bunbury. Only takes around 40 minutes to complete the circuit with a beautiful lookout to enjoy extensive views of the bush land.
