  • Great place to see wildflowers. Must get out of the car, and really look closely at the ground to spot them all. Heaps of orchids in early Sep 2022. Can also see Sundews (carnivorous plant). No...

  • This is a very interesting place that shows off many of the tree species of WA. We also saw lots of beautiful wildflowers including wonder spider orchids.

  • Love this place. A must for macro photography. Orchids and wildflowers are everywhere (if you know where to look). Plenty of different tree species to view. Lots of fauna as well just be cautious of snakes.
  • Excellent and underrated spot. Lot's of trees to see and I'm not a trees guy! Self drive experience, lots of photo ops. Each section is labelled and there is a shaded area for stopping but nil facilities.
  • The self drive was good, was expecting to see more wildflowers when we went. Loved the signage of all the type of trees planted
  • Maybe it’s a time of year thing but coming in Feb 2023 there was only one plant to see
  • Only rated poorly as there had been a bushfire through the area some months earlier, so vegetation was still recovering.
