This is a lovely loop around the arboretum at Pearl Beach, it is wonderful to walk around and look at all the trees and occaisional scuptures, using the the labels to try and learn the names of trees. There are also many native bee hives as well.

If you would like a slightly longer walk and swim, Pearly Ponds has the same start location.

A picture book

A picture book for the kids who walk with you

The Bush Wee is my read aloud picture book for children aged 2 to 7, about a big bush walk, a very important bush wee and a race back to the car. Its repeating refrain is written for little ones to chant along to, and it helps children working on toilet confidence outdoors.
