Walk with care! Some of the walking tracks pass by the edge of cliffs (the escarpment) and sheer rock faces. Watch your step and keep well back from the cliff edge—it may be crumbly. Supervise children closely and stay behind safety barriers.

The best way to see Blackdown's wildlife is to wake with them at Munall camping area. Kingfishers and cockatoos flit through the forest adding a dash of colour to the landscape, while robins and treecreepers blend in with the bush. Peregrine falcons, wedge-tailed eagles and goshawks hunt and roost along cliffs and escarpments. Honeyeaters, thornbills and rainbow bee-eaters can be spotted in heath communities.
By day, skinks, geckos and goannas bask on sandstone ledges. Look carefully—they are easy to miss!
By night, gliders, powerful owls and insectivorous bats take to the air. Take a torchlight and stroll along the road in the camping area to try to catch their reflective eye-shine.
