ARRIVING IN OURIMBAH STATE FOREST

Head up the Yarramalong Valley road from Wyong to Ourimbah State Forest, where Treetops has its largest park among the tall eucalypts of the Central Coast hinterland. Drive past the first car park, which is for the ropes courses, and use the second one, signed for Networld and the Zipcoaster. Toilets are between the two. Each session starts with a short safety briefing. There are no harnesses and no ropes to learn, which is why children from 3 can join in.

UP IN THE NETS

Then you're up into Networld, a sprawling web of connected nets slung between the trees, with trampolines and colourful ball pits built in along the way. Moving across it feels like gravity has loosened its grip, every step a small bounce. The giant inflatable balls turn it into a game of chase, throw and dodge, and adults who come along end up playing rather than watching. Younger children need a ticketed adult in with them, one for every four aged 3 to 7.

FINISHING UP

After about two hours of bouncing, you climb back down to the forest floor. The kiosk sells hot and cold drinks and snacks, and there are picnic tables under the trees. The same park also has tree ropes courses and the 500-metre Zipcoaster, booked separately if you want to make a day of it.
