A special place for the tree lover. In the world collection there are mature specimens of exotic trees that are rare or even unique to Western Australia. A great place to experience the four seasons of the temperate northern hemisphere with spectacular autumn colours. In winter the park becomes lush and green with the deciduous trees being bare makes for a truly wintery experience.

There are lots of picnic tables in beautiful places and benches with views. There are long drop toilets and a sink to wash your hands. A word of caution for the summer months. Make sure you go on a cool day, use sun protection and be careful of snakes. It is...
