Tea Tree Falls Walk
This one starts from the Thungutti camp area adjacent to the Styx river in the New England NP NSW. Listen out for the Honey Eaters amongst the Banksia and Tea Tree and walk through forests of Hanging and Sphagnum moss that form on the path you walk. A true walk back in time to Gondwana land. If time allows, you can continue to Point Lookout.

Kalbarri Loop Walk
Starting at the iconic Natures Window, follow the loop anticlockwise over the ridge, then into the gorge along the Murchison River. Monkey your way across some spots and keep an eye out for white markers to keep you on route.
The terrain is a mixture of rock, dirt and sand - you will get it all.
BRING PLENTY OF WATER EVEN IN WINTER. The rocks in the gorge emit so much heat even in mid-winter so ensure you bring more water than you think!!! I can't imagine doing this in the summer.
Bring swimmers for the many dip spots along the way.

Bibbulum Track
This is a walk in planning for mid 2012 and I am looking for up to 3 walking partners. The pace will be gentle (I will be 57yo by then)and I have walked only 120km of the Alpine Track (Main Range and Jagungal)as experience. I am cautious in my expectations and will be well prepared. I am not, however, trying to break any records. I prefer people who are flexible in their attitudes, easy going, able to laugh at themselves and also able to leave any gung-ho male bravado at home!

The Horn
Perched on top of granite cliffs at the edge of the Mount Buffalo plateau, The Horn is a unique landscape. Dotted here and there among the great boulders are the twisted, sun-bleached trunks of Snow Gums that have succumbed to bushfires over the years. A stone lookout shelter perched precariously atop the cliff overlooks all of this as well as the surrounding mountains far below. The Horn (1723m) is the most prominent peak of the Mount Buffalo plateau. A dirt road to The Horn picnic area which can be closed at times usually during Winter. Then the walk starts at the end of the paved road and carpark. Here, there are already magnificent views!
The walk itself is a steep ascent, narrow in places, with stairs and long hanging rock to limbo under.
Short in distance but you will work up a puff! Insane panoramic views from the top!

Larapinta Falls
This walk is an extension of the hike to Westray's Grave (see https://www.aussiebushwalking.com/qld/lamington/westray-s-grave-from-christmas-creek) along Christmas Creek. The other known walk on this route is to the Stinson crash site.
Without a word of hesitation I would recommend that if you go to Christmas Creek you must check out Larapinta Falls as they are absolutely spectacular and made even more special by the fact that you can swim right under the cascade which is over 30 metres high.
Absolutely worth doing, the falls are spectacular and there is nothing like swimming under such a large waterfall. Beautiful scenery though it is fairly well out in the sticks so be prepared.

See the best that the park has to offer in just a few hours on the Eagles Nest walking track. Experience World Heritage rainforest, snow gum forest and outstanding views.
Eagles Nest walking track takes you on a journey though World Heritage rainforest and snow gum forest, with outstanding views along the way.
Climb down into the ageless world of Gondwana rainforest. Marvel at the huge mossy Antarctic beech trees covered in fungus and dotted with beech orchids. You’ll see water trickling from the rocks, often freezing and forming chandeliers of ice that glisten in the winter light.
Climb back up to the escarpment near Banksia Point and return to Point lookout through the snow gum woodland. Look out for the brilliantly coloured crimson rosellas as you wander through the forest. In spring, you’ll be treated to the beauty of snow gum woodland carpeted with snowgrass tussocks and colourful wildflowers.
Finish with the breathtaking views from Point lookout, knowing what incredible natural wonders lie in the wilderness below.
