This rainforest walk with interpretive signage takes you along Amamoor Creek and up Skyring Creek to the creek crossing whilst pointing out the wild Macadamia trees along the way.
Long winding overgrown ( lantana )and seems unused forestry track leading to top of mountain which has limited views due to trees and growth yet a very peaceful walk in the State Forest.
When you get at the beginning of the Amamoor State Forest , where the sign is located right had side of road , you will find 2 tracks , facing them take the right one. Go through barbwire gate and simply follow the track up. Decent footwear required !
Wonderful walk to the top of the epic Windin Falls. Approximately 90mins each way from the car park. 11kms return.
Access is via Gourka Road, which is off Topaz Road, out from Malanda. You will see signs to both Windin Falls and Battle-Frere Western Approach. Head to the left, following Windin Falls signage.
The track is pretty easy, a couple of inclines but not too steep. One steep section, not very long, when you are approaching the creek/falls.
Rainforest landscape. Be aware of leeches.
This was a bloody fantastic walk with a stunning valley view. Highly recommend.

Several hikes in this park to from Medium to Hard. All provide stunning scenery. The most popular is the Navajo Trail , does go zig zag down and is a loop so goes back up again and some level of fitness is required but worth the hike.
Moderate level track suitable for average fitness levels. Pass along the base of a rocky ridge where you will see caves and relics of a World War 2 training bunker. The spotted gum forest supports a local koala population.
Norikura is one of Japan's 100 famous mountains and one of the 20 odd mountains in Japan that are over 3000 metres. On a clear day you get jaw dropping views of the Hotaka Mountain range and the northern alps, if you are lucky you can see as far as Fuji. There are volcanic lakes galore. It's worth the trek out to Norikura.
This a walk that follows, where possible, the ancient roman road, the Via Egnatia, from Durres in Albania to Thessaloniki in Greece. I only walked sections, in Albania and Northern Macedonia. The highlights of the walk are spending several days walking on the remains of the Roman road, which are well preserved in one mountainous section of the walk, walking along the shores of Lake Ohrid and walking over the mountains from Ohrid to Resen.
this is one of the best walks I've done. 6kms or so up a deep gorge with lots of waterfalls and then up onto the heights above before descending again and crossing the river back to carpark. stunning views and lots to see.
