One of the last surviving remnants of the Big Scrub, the original rainforest of the Northern Rivers, stands in this reserve near Alstonville, between Lismore and Ballina. An easy wheelchair-accessible boardwalk runs beneath ancient figs, black beans, bangalow palms and ferns, with red-legged pademelons and wompoo fruit-doves among the residents. Displays along the way describe how the Widjabul people of the Bundjalung nation used the local plants and animals, and a wheelchair-accessible picnic area with barbecue facilities sits beside the forest.
