Tucked away just off Arthurs Seat Road you'll find a beautiful 2km loop winding through lush rainforest. Part of the walk follows a boardwalk, but most of the trail is a natural dirt path, so it's not pram friendly. There are a few narrow sections and some steeper parts along the way, but it's a relatively short walk, so little legs should manage it without too much trouble.
