✨ Firefly Season Lights Up the Forest! ✨
An easy bush walk and a 30-minute light show you’ll never forget.
⏱️ Mid-Nov to Early Dec • 8:00pm–8:30pm
🏮 Bring a red-light torch (white light scares them!) and enjoy the magic.
Best spot: Cascades Rainforest Walk, Macquarie Pass 🌿✨
Firefly Etiquette:
Dress for the bush, bug-repellent before you get there, use red light, stay still, take a buddy, stay on the track, no touching, and video is easier than photos.
A tiny window. A glowing forest. Pure magic.
