Jack in the Box Gully
Located near to the Harrison's Cave, this Gully belongs to the same hydrologic system as the Welchman Hall and the Harrison's Caves.
Many species of plats occurs in the gully, including fifteen rare and unique tree species, making the place to look as magic and myterious forest. In fact, the name of the Jack in the box gully came from the Jack in the Box tree, which was said to have grown in abundance in the gully.
Because of it nature of its origin, gullies are natural watercourses. The remains of a century old reservoir that was used to collect water from the Harrison's and Coles's Caves exists here.
