Hey team, I've been hitting up the usual spots like Hagley Park and the Botanic Gardens, but I'm craving something a bit more wild this weekend. Anyone know a good trail or nature reserve within an hour's drive? I've done the Port Hills tracks a few times already—love the views but want a change. Thinking of checking out the Ashley Gorge or maybe up near Oxford? Also heard there's a hidden gem called Peel Forest but that might be a bit far. Ideally somewhere with a bit of forest and maybe a river crossing? Not too keen on crowded spots. If you've got a secret spot, spill it! Bonus points if there's a good coffee cart nearby. 😅 Cheers!
