A wonderful opportunity for bird watching, as the foreshores of Tin Can Bay can be explored via the 'environmental walkway'. This allows visitors to observe the inhabitants of the foreshores in comfort and without disturbing their natural habitat.
There is an excellent environmental walkway which runs along the foreshore of Tin Can Inlet. A well maintained path through the foreshore bushland with raised wooden walkways. There are lots of detailed signs explaining the flora and fauna, with a specific Foreshore Bird Walk with photos for identification purposes.
Gordonbrook Dam is the sole water supply for Kingaroy and a peaceful spot to unwind. Take in the beautiful dam views from the viewing platform or a variety of walking tracks along the waters edge.
Located next to a camping area with picnic and toilet facilities, the Kinbombi Falls walks are a network of 3 short tracks that descend into a deep gully containing a seasonally flowing creek/waterfall. The combined walks could be done in under an hour, but it is worth setting aside more time to enjoy and explore the gully.
Officially a Grade 5 track (many steep stairs + Tracks 1/3 both have an unstable, unpaved section towards the bottom of the gully), the Kinbombi walks are suitable for people with a moderate-high level of fitness. Ankle-supporting footwear is recommended if you plan to go beyond the cement stairs and explore the gully.
Nice easy stroll along the camping area , Robinson Creek and Lake Murphy
A 20k walk/ ride from Hervey Bay To Maryborough, or visa versa. Cleared packed gravel track to thicker bush tracks. Mainly flat with some flooding in wetter weather. View the bird life and early morning kangaroos feeding on tufts of grass by the track.
Lovely views of Burnett River, easy walk, shade shelter and bbq.
Located in Wrattens State Forest . Nice quite hike as none venture out here often I say.
Mt Perry. The walk up to the tree line is the hardest part. About 1km , constantly going up, in the sun and warmth of the morning really takes it out of you. The track through the trees and up to the peak is quite a good one and anyone who enjoys a good bush walk should have no problem reaching the peak. Once there the views are fantastic.
Nice relatively easy ,if you're fit ;-) , up to Mt Widgee to enjoy awesome views across Wratten Forrest.
