This is a beautiful picnic area. If you’re looking for the ideal picnic spot under lush trees and close to a “big tree”, this is it. There are plenty of forest tables to choose from. Toilets and water are also available. The site is wheelchair accessible. Bring the children, they’ll have hours of fun playing in the cool forest stream. There is also a short 2km walk You can do, the Woodville Short Walk from this spot, it is an easy 2km walk.

The water in the stream is safe, the dark colour is due to the tannins and humic acids from the leaves on the forest floor.
