Casuarina, Maculata, Hakea and Wild May trails loop

Getting there

Park in the picnic area car park: 448 Illaweena Street, Karawatha QLD

Depending on the direction you choose to travel, the Wild May Trail begins to the immediate right after entering the picnic ground gates. Alternatively start on the Casuarina Trail end by walking over the wooden bridge on the far side of the picnic area. You may want to also add in the 1km Melaleuca Circuit which loops from where the Casuarina Trail begins.

Combined this with Melaleuca Circuit & Poets Rock and all up took 1 hour. Big open tracks. The Hakea trail is the most interesting landscape wise

Most practical loop walk from Illaweena Street.

Nice easy walk, close enough to main roads but feels like you're a lot further away by how quiet and peaceful it is.

We combined this loop with the Melaleuca Circuit. All up my iPhone says the two loops were about 5.5km however the park guide suggests the combination should be 4km. It took us approximately 2hrs stopping admire along the way.

The reflection photo has been incorrectly labeled, it should read as the bridge at the junction of Hakea and Wild May Trails. I’m not sure how to edit photo captions but someone else may like to do that.
