This trail is suitable for the whole family and has information boards to help you recognise the different bird songs!
This 3.1 km trail takes 1 hour 15 minutes to complete and is quite easy. It starts with a 170-metre-long wooden platform that is accessible to people with disabilities. The walk continues on a trail through part of the rainforest under the shade of the tree ferns. A short climb takes you up to the pine tree area (marker no. 2). A wide, gently sloping track takes you back to the start.
