Hop in the car, it’s time to head to Crows Nest National Park. Few other places have the variety of eucalypt trees found here, from gums to stringybarks, bloodwoods and ironbark’s see how many you can spot. Crows Nest Creek meanders through the park, and the walk alongside it leads to waterholes and lookouts with spectacular views across the distant rolling hills. The 2.1km trail to Crows Nest Falls Lookout is a must with water tumbling over 20m high granite cliffs. If you’re feeling a little hot after exploring the national park, head to Bottlebrush Pool where you can swim in the shade of the she-oak and bottlebrush trees.
