My all time go to if I need a quick fix of rainforest walk.

Lovely manageable walk with some uneven ground, tree roots, and stepping up&down, but mostly palm forest with a few strangler figs and gums. Enjoyable and not too long. Not too many people as there's no swimming holes etc.

What a magical place. Old growth trees and palms. Definitely worth a visit. Donated by a private family to the National Parks. What a beautiful gesture.

Well signed hiking trails. Paths have rocks and roots in them, footwear with good grip is advised. Good for spotting wildlife. We saw pademelons and yellow tailed black cockatoos. Mind your head as well, there are a handful of vines and branches growing across the track.
