A natural reserve starting at Broken Hill Road Carpark. This is also one of the starting points for the Colonial Knob Summit walk, which I planned for later. Adjacent to the Spicer landfill. It is an arboretum of exotic trees. And has small easy walkways with interesting names. The sound of a small water stream can be heard at times and very pleasing to the ears.

This is a nice bit of Bush at the bottom of Colonial Knob. Easily accessible for all ages and abilities. Our toddlers can manage the full loop with a bit if cajoling - even if they are tired out afterwards. There are some picnic tables and a big open area to run around in. The birdlife is amazing. Watch out for mountain bikers coming down the trails.

Few creeks and cool off track areas for exploring. Not a large amount of wildlife or bird life. Not sure how long we will have it for as it’s marked to become a mountain bike park.

If you can smell something horrendous leave the area immediately as it's unfiltered toxic gas emanating from the medical...
