Bullocky's Rest & Applegum Walk, New England Highway Crows Nest - Waterbird habitat, picnic area and bird watching (look around the trees and see if you can spot the nesting boxes that have been placed here). A walking track links Bullocky's Rest with Hartmann Park 1.5 km away. The track follows creeks most of the way with a detour to the lookout over the Pump Hole. Often you can see a tortoise or two floating in the water. Spectacular wildflowers are out in full bloom during late winter and spring. Common ones are purple flowered hoveas, magnificent orange spikes of the hairpin banksias, creamy spears of grass trees, masses of yellow wattles, the white stars of flannel flowers and massed beds of pink trigger plants.
