Walk | A bushwalk of any kind short or longSlow pace | A trip where the leader will set an easy pace.Evans Crown Nature Reserve is an interesting and dramatic place to visit for the curious bushwalker! The huge granite boulders, with its many nooks and crannies demand to be explored and at this time of the year the wattle should be in full bloom making for a stunning landscape to walk amongst. Rock scrambling.
