The Woodvine Nature Reserve was bequeathed in 1998 to Parks and Wildlife by the former owner to ensure that the part that is bush remains that way. It is 377 hectares and probably some 70-80% of this is relatively untouched bushland which at times has a multitude of birds, adding to the attraction. The former cleared land is revegetating, but unfortunately much of this is by invading Spanish Heath which is progressing rapidly with some having escaped into the bush.
The walk was along a sandy vehicle track on the southern boundary for some 2.5 k before ascending steadily for 850 metres to the top of Mother Browns Bonnet for a height gain of 150 metres.
There is a hill to the north that could be a destination for a future walk.
