Baldivis Children’s Forest — Attraction in Baldivis

Beautiful morning out. The trails were safe and maintained enough without impeding on the 'being out in nature' feel. We saw a Kangaroo and it's Joey from the orange trail track! Multiple Kookaburras and the sounds of nature covered the road traffic noise for the most part. We were the only people there, until the BBQ maintenance team arrived, who were very friendly.

A great spot! Trails are very clearly marked by painted wooden posts. The Yonga trail is an easy way up the hill.

Having gone first thing in the morning, we were the only ones in the entire forest; it was an incredibly peaceful spot! Sadly, the bush Tucker walk seems to have fallen into disrepair; the paths were somewhat overgrown, and the signs very faded and possibly no longer relevant (they were fascinating, though!) Well...
