An appealing shaded walk beside Stringybark creek. Thanks to all the bush regeneration workers who removed so many weeds and encouraged Australian native plants. There's a huge number of brush turkeys here. Many of the native plants would not have been seen here 250 years ago. Such as the Straw tree fern, Australian Red Cedar, Plum Pine and Magenta Cherry.
