November Bush Ramble (and BBQ) in Daisy Hill Conservation Park
PLEASE JOIN US ON OUR NOVEMBER MONTHLY BUSH RAMBLE

This month, for our final ramble for 2025, we will be exploring two short bush tracks - the Paper Bark Trail and Tree Discovery Trail at Daisy Hill Conservation Park with a barbecue lunch afterward.
Protecting the headwaters of Tingalpa Creek, Buhot Creek and their tributaries, the area’s riparian forest provides vital habitat for turtles, water rats, platypus, water dragons and frogs, including the vulnerable tusked frog. Open eucalypt forests, melaleuca wetland and patches of lowland rainforest are home to possums, gliders, powerful owls, glossy black-cockatoos, swamp and red-necked wallabies, and a variety of reptiles and other birds.
In the early 1900s, Daisy Hill was the name adopted for the prominent hill in the area and reportedly named after the local daisy, Olearia nernstii, that grew prolifically in the then timber reserve. Daisy Hill Conservation Park has a long forestry history. It was originally gazetted as a timber reserve in 1874, then as a State Forest in 1917 and in 1986, a State Forest Park. In 2000 the park was gazetted as a Forest Reserve and in 2006 a Conservation Park.
