PUNCHBOWL RESERVE

Nestled in a small "bowl" or gorge between the suburbs of Norwood and Newstead is the Punch Bowl reserve.  The park is popular for family picnics.  The park has a spectacular rhododendron plantation on the northern slope, a small gorge to the south as well as BBQ facilities and a children's playground.  The playground has a rubberized pavement.  A road winds through the reserve.
