This leisurely ramble will take us over areas of high quality native grassland and old trees that have been cared for by Cooleman Ridge Parkcare Group for over 30 years. We will stay off the gravel fire trails and keep to the high ground as it meanders from north to south. Bluebells are still in flower and there is an extraordinary growth of native grasses this season. There will be some upos and downs as we follow the terrain, and probably a few fences to negotiate, to step through or crawl under.
