Understory - Northcliffe WA

Reporter:  Marg Werner

While on our travels in Western Australia we found this enchanting place that truly deserves mention in these pages.  Originally called the Southern Forest Nature Walk, it has been reborn recently to tell the bigger story around the conservation of old growth forests for our younger generation.  It provides fun and challenges for the young and sculptures that evoke adult thought.  All of this wrapped around a bushwalk.
