Great little park not too far from our place. If you don't mind heights try the Greenheart Tree walk. It's a walkway that's attached to trees that are over 100 years old and is 20m above the forest floor. Giving you a great view from the tree as if you were in them.
Ask us how you can get a good deal on admission : )
