Ferntree Gully Reserve

Walk through unique rainforests and western plant communities at Ferntree Gully Reserve. There are a number of walking tracks at Ferntree Gully that take you down into the cool narrow ferntree-studded valley floor, and/or around the top edge of the rocks where you can get an overview of the valley and the unusual rock formations on either side.
