About Ludlow Tuart Forest
Ludlow Forest is about 15 km east of Busselton, in Tuart Forest National Park. It protects one of the largest remaining stands of tuart forest, a light-trunked, broad-crowned eucalyptus that only grows in a narrow coastal strip of southwestern Western Australia.
Many trees exceed 30 meters in height and are centuries old. The forest is also home to the western ringtail possum, a threatened marsupial that lives in the canopy and is often seen at night.
A dirt road and short walking trails cross the forest, with picnic areas. The former timber village of Ludlow still shows traces of the era when trees were logged.
There is no park entry fee.
