4 months agoA peaceful bush and garden area, worthy of a wander around. Beautiful leaf colours when we visited. A bit of a hidden gem.

8 months agoJanuary might be a bad time to visit, as all the colors from the photos (other people posted) aren‘t seen anywhere. I also feel a little sad about the amount of dead and half-dead trees, though it‘s still a nice place to feel, see, hear and smell nature :)
