Estimated time 5hr (Inc. 1.30hr driving, 30min at stops)
Step away from the ordinary and spend a day where rainforest, wildlife, art and creativity come together.
Begin with a gentle morning walk through the Maiala Rainforest, easing into the day beneath towering trees and the sounds of the forest. From there, discover art in some wonderfully unexpected settings — starting with the Phoenix Sculpture Garden, where sculpture and nature share the same space.
Continue your creative journey with Tatiana Afonin’s wildlife and landscape-inspired artworks, before stopping for lunch at Peppers Clear Mountain or The Owlery Café.
The afternoon brings more discoveries, with Christa’s Gilding, surrounded by a beautiful natural setting and featuring large-scale works inspired by the landscape, koalas and birds. Finish at Ann Russel Art, where the studio itself becomes part of the experience — an intimate creative space nestled in nature and inspired by the world around it.
This is a trail for those who love to wander, look closely and discover — where a rainforest walk can lead to sculpture, wildlife can inspire art, and the landscape becomes part of the creative experience.
Nature underfoot. Art around you. Creativity at every turn.
