The Scenic Drive through the forest is a beautiful and relaxing ride. You'll wind your way through the trees and cross a number of streams. There are a number of stopping points dotted along the way should you want a rest or to bask in the fresh forest air.

Cycling

beautiful place to bike road is perfect there is a section with no hills and you can do the circuit if you want a more challenging ride. ( beware of small snakes on the road later in the evening close to sun down)
