Journeys - walks

Rising high above the surrounding plains, Blackdown Tableland’s ancient sandstone plateau is a cool oasis featuring colourful and unique plants and animals, spectacular views, rich cultural heritage and a range of walking opportunities.

Choose from a short stroll, a walk for a couple of hours or challenge yourself on a hike down into a gorge.

Remember, when selecting a walk consider your fitness level and the weather. To find out where the walking tracks are located, download the Blackdown Tableland National Park map (PDF, 1.9MB) .

Walk with care

Be mindful where you step when walking, there are some natural hazards.

  • Cliff edges are sheer and may be unstable. Keep well back from the edge and supervise children closely.
  • Pea gravel on the walking tracks makes the ground slippery under foot.
  • Take care when crossing creeks—rocks may be slippery.

  • Walks in the Yaddamen Dhina area

    Catch a stunning panoramic view or sunset from a lookout, stroll through eucalypt forest and watch for wildlife or simply relax at the day-use area.
