Hike/Park Description:
Our first visit garnered some interest and a month later five of us ventured up there again.
Overall, there were fewer flowers, with the fields of Goldfields and Poppies being replaced by grasses. This time we went further down towards the Beatson Hollow for some nice views of the gorge. For the adventurous among you, I would imagine the Beatson Gorges 'old 4wd' trail past the Western Pond and up to Basalt Canyon past several water falls would make a superb hike in spring.

See our Park page for more information.
