In the heart of a picturesque National Park, a rare coastal rainforest calls home. Being filled with lush &
#8206 ;greenery of ancient trees with the aromas of wood, ferns and the moist smell of the bed of the &
#8206 ;rainforest lingering the air, you cannot help but feel like you are wandering through the depths of an &
#8206 ;enchanted rainforest.
This magical Rainforest Walk at Mungo Brush in the Myall Lakes National Park truly takes your &
#8206 ;breath away with the enthralling beauty of plum pine, mock olive, coogera and brush blackwood &
#8206 ;canopying the Rainforest. &
#8206 ;
&
#8206 ;Sounds of singing birds fill the stillness, as the crunch sounds of fallen leaves echoes through the &
#8206 ;tall ancient trees and as you take a step glimpses of wildlife can be seen through the shadows. I felt as &
#8206 ;if we were lost in a forest of the unknown in complete wilderness, this added even more &
#8206 ;excitement and thrill to this lovely walk. &
#8206 ;
There is an abundance of birdlife including golden whistlers, figbirds, rufous fantails and satin and &
#8206 ;regent bowerbirds who call this charming rainforest home. Keep an eye out for the brush &
