Euglah Rock Lookout

This easy stroll leaves from the bottom of Bark Hut Campground and leads to a lookout overlooking Euglah Rock to the south; another spectacular volcanic remnant.

Easy

2 km return

45 mins

Lindsay Rock Tops

This is a relatively easy walking track with no steep sections. You'll walk through snowgum woodland to an open rocky lava flow area with magnificent views to the south and east.

This is more like a 'moonscape' with the harsh southerly weather leaving a baron and low scrub environment.

Mt Kaputar

Millions of years in the making, it’s definitely worth packing your camera to capture the beauty of the park from a bird’s eye view. Walk to the summit of Mount Kaputar at sunrise or sunset, and watch the colours flood across the landscape and the stunning 360° views of the dramatic cliff and rock formations from the lookout.

45 mins

Sawn Rocks

The wall of 40m high 'organ-piping' looks like something out of a cathedral. Sawn Rocks is a towering wall of pentagonal basalt pipes. An iconic reminder of Kaputar’s volcanic past, this rock formation is located in the northern section of Mt Kaputar National Park. This phenomenon is the result of slow and even cooling of molten rock, enabling individual crystals within the rock to align perfectly with each other.

The Governor

This return track takes you onto the peak of a large volcanic plug, with a drop away backdrop that takes your breath away. From here you overlook the northern wilderness area of Mount Kaputar National Park.

4 km return

4 hrs

Yulludunida Walking Track

Yulludunida walking track is an exhilarating 4km, 4 hour return hike. This hard walk from Green Camp car park takes you up the side of the steep bluff, a heart-pumping 340-metre rise in altitude. Adventurous and experienced bushwalkers will be rewarded with uninterrupted 360° views across Mount Kaputar National Park and North West NSW.

Yulludunida walking track includes a breathtaking bird’s eye view of the mountain’s crater, one of the most impressive examples of a ring dyke (Mountain Spa) in Australia. You'll notice the woodland trees become sparser as the contorted shapes of the crater appear.

Walks in Mt Jerusalem National Park

Medium

5.1 km return

105 mins

Hell Hole Falls

This is a well kept secret, that not even many of the locals know about! A strange name for such a beautiful place; it is a series of deep rock pools linked by small waterfalls before the creek plunges over the cliff into the Tweed Valley.
This rock formation is not part of Mt Warning's eruptions, but dates back before that time to the Chillingham volcanics.
A place for a cooling swim, picnic and to enjoy the tranquillity of the surroundings. It is rumoured that the waters of the rock pools contain a natural hair conditioner that lasts for weeks.

A long out and back day walk to the top of Mt Jerusalem near Nimbin in Northern NSW. Overgrown but easy to follow track that leads almost all the way to the summit.
