John Forest National Park 



Located in the hills on Park Rd off the Great Eastern Hwy.

It does cost you to enter this park and it can get busy with people in Spring and Autumn. I would avoid going here on the weekend if you want to see undisturbed wildlife. In Spring, winter and Autumn the water fall flows, there are cycle tracks and lots of walking trails.  The places in the hills come alive with the wildflowers if it has been a good wet winter. Some years can be disappointing.


Scenes in John Forest National Park

We have returned here in winter and we heard lots of quacking frogs and Glauret's froglets as well as Lea's frogs (which you can hear now). There was also fungi and cheeky 28 parrots that came and took apple out of the kids hands while kookaburras hovered around the empty bbq hoping for a meal.
