On Gulf Rd just downstream from Liffey Falls. This is a Bush Heritage Reserve that was donated by Bob Brown an early greens crusader and founder of both the Greens Party and Bush Heritage. There is a walking track along the creek and up to the heritage listed cottage then up into the forest towards Drys Bluff that looms over the property. We did a three month stint as caretakers here in 2024-5
