VISITORS

Glenfern Valley Bushlands is becoming a popular destination for a variety of visitors. Many people who come to walk and explore the Reserve are delighted to discover the number of birds and plants that are there. Others take the opportunity to sit quietly on one of the bush seats and enjoy the natural surrounds. Some bring their dogs for a walk - on a leash as wildlife share the Reserve with us. Picnickers can be seen occupying the tables and joggers use the tracks as part of their exercise routine. Whatever the reason to visit, Glenfern Valley Bushlands will please and surprise.
