Grays Bush Scenic Reserve

There are a number of tracks within the bush which can be accessed from the car park. They form a number of intersecting loops in the southern part of the reserve. The reserve is on flat land and a full circuit of the tracks in Gray's Bush takes 40-60 minutes at a leisurely pace. The tracks are suitable for all age groups and levels of fitness.

There is a car park adjacent to the reserve. The reserve is signposted from Back Ormond Road.
