Parks & Nature

Right next to our property is this bushland reserve with tracks leading in to walk on. If you venture off the track slightly you will see some of the old gold mine shafts left by the Chinese. Round in shape to ensure the spirits couldn't hide in the corners there are some shallow ones as well as quite deep ones that have a grate over them. Also a lot of bird life and often kangaroos and wallabies.

Slow down when driving in the morning and evening as kangaroos like to cross the road at this time of the day.
