Anembo Reserve Horse Arena Circuit

1.3 km circuit

20 min to 30 min

Anembo Reserve Horse Arena Circuit

20 min to 30 min

Starting from Duffys Forest, the Anembo Reserve Horse Arena Circuit is a circuit walk that takes you through a tranquil forest. You'll have a chance to see Rosenberg's monitors, red-crowned toadlets, eastern pygmy possums and more in Anembo Reserve. Speaking of, Anembo (Aboriginal) means 'quiet place'. You can be the judge of that whilst exploring this natural beauty on the edge of the suburbs, whether on a horse, a bike or on foot. As you make your way through the eucalypt trees, you may notice the scribbly patterns on the tree barks. These patterns are the work of the aptly named 'scribbly gum moth' larvae as they feed on the tree bark. Dogs are allowed (on a lead). Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
