Route/Trail notes:

Take the 4wd forestry track just south of the Lonesome National Park sign on the right hand side of the road. Walk approximately 5 - 7 kms until you find a left hand 4wd access track. Continue down this track until it begins to make a semi-circle. At this point head left through 50 meters of scrub until you reach a clearing and a rock ledge where you will find terrific views of Arcadia Valley to the north. The track is well worn, cleared of trees and easy to follow.

Note: This is a remote and isolated section of Central Queensland - communications equipment is advised. Keep an eye out for goanna's, emu's, kangaroos and other wildlife.

Comments

Most of the Arcadia Valley Rd is now sealed all the way(almost ) to Lake Nugga Nugga. So this one is easy to reach by conventional car.
Great walk , stunning scenery and came across a couple emu's.

Very hot conditions in summer - take plenty of water. Finish off at the Arcadia Valley lookout up the road (picnic table at site).
