Little Dandahra Creek Walk
13km relatively easy return walk (Grade 3). Can be started at the Dandahra picnic area car park, or drive on to Mulligan's campground and start the walk from there. We parked at the Dandahra picnic area which is just off the highway. This is a lovely track which follows the beautiful flowing Dandahra Creek. Plenty of spots to dip your toes in. Bring a hat on this walk as there isn't much tree cover, this area has been affected by bush-fires last year and is regenerating. There are interesting boulder formations along the way. This walk is largely flat with only a few steeper sections, overall it is an easy 13km return. Mulligan's campground is a great spot for lunch.
From Parks NSW website; "Little Dandahra Creek walking track is the ideal way to get acquainted with the landscape of Gibraltar Range National Park. This superb walking track leads you past enormous granite outcrops, through montane heathlands and alongside pristine waterways. Take a break and soak in the cool running waters and natural pools of Little Dandahra Creek, where you’ll feel dwarfed by the magnificent rocky landscape. Keep your binoculars close for birdwatching, there are many birds that feed and breed in the area.
This track is great for those looking to go hiking for the first time as it is quite an easy day’s trek. Mulligans campground awaits you at the other end where you can set up a tent and put the billy on to boil."

Dandahra Crags Walk
With its crags and swamps, Dandahra Crags walking track is a unique track within Gibraltar Range National Park. Through spring and summer, the wildflowers are on display around Surveyors Swamp, which the track skirts. In winter, get up early and watch the sun rise over the frost-covered swamp from the top of the crags. You’ll be rewarded for your efforts. Bring your camera along to record the experience. The area, with its montane swamps, huge granite outcrops and wildflowers, is quite a photographer’s paradise. Binoculars will also come in handy for birdwatching.
Dandahra Crags walking track is great for people looking for a moderately-challenging hike with a bit of a climb at the end. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the scenic views out towards Raspberry lookout and Mann River Valley from the top of the crags.
