Take the 2km 30-minute return Woodland Walk and discover this landscape. The outcrops in the Reserve are made of granite, which formed when melted rock (or magma) cooled deep in Earth’s crust over a long period of time.

Rainwater pools in these holes, which provides drinking water for animals and even tiny habitats for water bugs. In times past, gnammas were a vital source of water for Aboriginal people.
