Hiking and wildflowers
Harvey Wildflower Ridge Walk is a must for wildflower enthusiasts. The walk is 1,4km loop and is quite easy with a few manageable slopes. As you climb higher, you will enjoy beautiful views of the ridge and nearby Harvey Dam. The trail is open all year round but is best enjoyed in spring when masses of wildflowers are blooming. These pictures were taken early October.
