Journey facilities

  • Walking

Weave your way past bright palm trees, giant strangler figs and tulip oaks decorated with basket ferns.

Pack your binoculars to help spot the rainforest bird life. Listen closely in the mid story for the squeaking call of the inquisitive grey fantail, or the forest floor for the characteristic ‘walk to work’ call of the illusive rainbow pitta.

This walk has some steps and uphill sections.
