The trail can take anything from an hour to a whole day, depending on how much you stop and do along the way. There are lots of trees and structures to climb on, but be careful because they might be muddy and slippery. It’s a perfect family day out.

There are plenty of walks to choose from on Box Hill, but this one is perfect for a first visit so you can get to know the area.
