Starting from the Day Visitor Area car park at the end of Park Road, Mambray Creek, this walk takes you to the Old Baroota Cemetery and back via the Baroota Hike. The Baroota Hike meanders through red river gums and native pine forest along Mambray Creek, exploring the Old Baroota Cemetery and the Baroota Homestead Ruins, which provide an insight into the early pastoral history of Mount Remarkable National Park. The hike initially follows the Mambray Creek Walk, with interpretive signage explaining the importance of water to the area, then branches off along a trail that ends at the cemetery, passing a side trip to the ruins. Established in 1851, the 'Baroota Run' operated from the homestead and thrived for twelve years, until the area was struck by the Great 1860s Drought. This hike consists of mostly flat gravel and dirt trails, with some irregular surfaces and creek crossings, suitable for average fitness levels. Dogs are not permitted in this park. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Starting from the Mambray Creek Day Visitor Area at the end of Park Road, Mount Remarkable National Park, this walk takes you to the Melrose War Memorial via the Black Range Trek. This challenging trek connects the Mambray Creek Day Visitor Area to Melrose and is best done over multiple days, with multiple camping options along the route to split up the distance. The trek initially meanders through the Mambray Creek Valley, passing Scarfes Hut and the Sugar Gum Lookout, then heads over the steep Black Range to Grays Hut. From there, the trek climbs steeply to the summit of Mount Remarkable before descending to the town of Melrose. The walk begins near the Mambray Creek Campground, which is suitable for tents, caravans, camper vans and camper trailers and has toilets, showers and fire pits. This walk consists of narrow walking trails and fire tracks, with uneven natural surfaces, compacted natural surfaces, rocky surfaces, steep hills and creek crossings, suitable for high fitness levels, and can be done in either direction. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
