Good to know
Carry water even on shorter forest walks; South-West heat and sun can catch you out. Wear sturdy shoes with good grip on gravel. Spring (Aug–Oct) brings wildflowers to the forest floor. Avoid summer months (Dec–Feb) due to bushfire risk and extreme heat. Check local conditions before setting out.
