North Kobble bush camp walk
Remote bush camping in open eucalypt forest adjacent to Kobble Creek. The campsite has no facilities other than a fire pit and some log seating. The campsite's access from Lepidozamia Road is by walking along a wide 4wd track. Navigation is relatively easy but you will need to be physically fit for the return journey as the terrain is steep in sections. The walk in from Lepidozamia Road will take approximately 3 hours, and the walk out approximately 4 hours. Distance is is approximately 10km each way. An emergency plan should be in place with a responsible friend or family member. A topographic map is required to find the campsite — map grid reference: 778 856.

Northbrook Mtn bush camp walk
Remote bush camping on a high ridge overlooking Kipper Creek in wet sclerophyll forest. Northbrook Mountain summit is approximately a 15-minutes walk from the campsite. The summit affords extensive views looking south across the England Creek catchments and is covered in mountain heath, where wildflowers bloom between winter and spring.
Some areas thick with bell miners but away from them plenty of other species.
There is a much nice alternate, albeit less obvious or well trodden route to the lookout near the camp.
Follow the path as normal - once you see the sign AS0361 there is a steep(ish) oot track on the left. If you download What3words the exact location (revisited.sharks.silent). This route is slower going and often quiet steep but considerably more scenic off the 4wd 🚙 track.
If taking it from the lookout, just follow the ridge line at the lookout and you’ll notice a footpath. The Initial descent is tricky but don’t let that scare you off. Once you get going the scenery is great.

Somerset Trail
A pleasant circular walk through open and pine forest as well as pockets of rainforest. At around the halfway point, there are a series of lookouts over Somerset Dam to the north and Lake Wivenhoe to the south, with a backdrop of the far mountain ranges.
This area was heavily logged, hence the saw mill at The Gantry and evident by the 'plank' groves on some of the old tree stumps.
