Kangaroo Ridge
Barren Grounds Nature Reserve
This walk takes you through heath land with a large variety of flora and fauna. The end has a spectacular view. Only if you sneak through the bushes. A safe seat to sit on would have been great.

West Rim Track
Morton National Park
For a delightful walk through pristine eucalypt forests and lush rainforest, the easy/moderate West Rim walking track offers spectacular views of dramatic gorges and waterfalls in Morton National Park, near Robertson. The nearby Fitzroy Falls Visitor Centre offers loads of information on the local highlights, as well as delicious meals, making this walk ideal for family outings and a highlight of a car tour of the Southern Highlands. (You can also combine the East and West Rim trails for a longer walk - the West Rim track is much more scenic - and much more popular. On a public holiday it gets busy!)
Following this gently undulating track, you’ll trace the western edge of the horseshoe shaped escarpment leading to Renown lookout. With lookouts along the way, there’s plenty of opportunity to stop and enjoy the sweeping views of deep river valleys and waterfalls.
Enjoy the lush ferns and towering forest canopy of coachwood, bloodwood and lilly pilly. Look for the flowering boronia as well as the purple flowering chocolate lilies, with their distinctive scent, in the spring.

East Rim Track (Full)
Morton National Park
Running from Fitzroy Falls Visitor Centre to Warrawong lookout in the northern section of the park, this self-guided wildflower walk is a nature-lover’s dream. (You can also combine this trac with the West Rim track to make a longer walk - the East Rim track is the less busy/popular option, and not as spectacular as the West Rim Track).
Offering a delightful excursion through diverse native plants and trees, the East Rim Wildflower walking track is both scenic and informative. Spot the colourful flowers as you roam the track past a cornucopia of plant communities including dry eucalypt forests, grassy woodlands, heathlands and rainforest areas just bursting with birds. You’ll encounter spectacular lookouts with views over the valley as you go, along with helpful signs pointing out interesting flowers, useful hints and details on changing environment.

Peates Mountain
Nightcap National Park
An interesting walk through the semi-tropical forest of the Whian Whian Conservation Area (Nightcap NP). Remnants of red cedar logging exist with the stumps showing the cut marks from the cutters planks, as well as an old cedar trunk bridge across one of the creeks.
Peates Mountain (once known as Peach Mountain) once had a fire lookout tower, that provided extensive views of the area from Lismore in the west to the eastern coast. Sadly this no longer exists and we are left with a ordinance obelisk.

Sassafras Gully Loop
New South Wales
The Sassafras Gully loop is an excellent walk setting out from Springwood Station. The walk uses the gullies to navigate past some wonderful rock features, dense bushland and waterfalls. A nice cool walk in the shade and never too far from water.

Lawson Lookout from Fairy Dell Reserve
New South Wales
This walk is a great way to go to Lawson Lookout, especially if you are coming from Fairy Dell Reserve picnic area. With Springwood just out of ear shot, the walk meanders down the Magdala Gully, then leads up to Lawson Lookout for a great view across the valley.

Mt Nebo - Honey Track
D'Aguilar National Park
This is a beautiful walk along mostly well maintained forestry roads. We parked at Bullocky's Dam - there is no sign and the road is tucked away, but it is between Boombana and is about 500 m from Jolly's Lookout.
Following South Boundary road, you will wonder through the mossy rainforest for about 2 km – where you will enjoy the beautiful sounds of the Bellbird – and see them! Go right when you reach Augies Road and continue for another 2 km (approx.), Honey Track splits off to the right – it is sign posted. The entrance to this track was a little overgrown, but don’t let this put you off as it clears back to the vehicular track after approximately 500 metres. Most of the next 2.5 km is along a ridge through eucalypt forest – keep your eye out for sunbaking snakes, goannas and lots of local birds. This track stops at the end of the of the ridge, where on a clear day you should enjoy glimpses of the valleys in the distance and Lake Manchester. Take a well-earned rest, enjoy the views and then retrace your steps. I loved this walk!

Devils Break Loop
Moggill Conservation Park
Great short to medium length bush walk with not too many many people. There is a very steep section on the southern end of Devils Break which can be covered in shale so appropriate walking shoes are a must here.
