Maiala Rainforest Circuit

1.8 km circuit

45 min to 1 h 30 min

Maiala Rainforest Circuit

45 min to 1 h 30 min

Starting from the Maiala Picnic Area off Mt. Glorious Road, Mount Glorious, this walk takes you on a circuit in the dense rainforest of D’aguilar National Park via the Rainforest Circuit track. You’ll truly feel like this gorgeous rainforest is awake and breathing. Pay attention to the distinct tunes of the eastern whipbirds, the creepy-looking strangler figs, and the pademelons running around with tiny babies in their pouches as you’re strolling around. Under rainfall, you may find it surprisingly soothing, rather than unpleasant. With the dense canopy partially protecting you from getting wet, close your eyes and listen to the raindrops hitting the leaves and trees. Considering the undulating track and the amenities provided in the picnic area, this can make for a great family trip. Although keep in mind that you may run into snakes in the rainforest, so keep your kids close. Come early on a quiet day to avoid the crowd and have a better experience.

Cedar & Love Creek Falls

4.7 km return

2 h to 3 h

Cedar & Love Creek Falls

Starting from the car park off Cedar Creek Road, this walk takes you to Cedar & Love Creek Falls and back via rock hopping along the same-titled creeks. Rather than a designated track, expect a peaceful but a bit tiring hike amidst the dense woodland. Although, you can take a break from the constant rock hopping and cool off in the refreshing cool waters almost anywhere along the creek. Whilst swimming, take a moment and observe the lovely scenery around you as you listen to the constant birdsong. Additionally, keep an eye out for monitor lizards and snakes. If you decide to hike alongside the creek rather than in it, keep in mind that the already-subtle walking track may be overgrown. A moderate level of fitness and shoes/boots with ankle support are recommended.

Piper Comanche Plane Wreck

6 km return

2 h 15 min to 3 h 15 min

Piper Comanche Plane Wreck

2 h 15 min to 3 h 15 min

Starting from Mount Glorious Road, Mount Glorious, this walk takes you to the historic Piper Comanche Plane Wreck and back, exploring the woodlands of D’Aguilar National Park along the way. The Piper Comanche crashed on 2 March 1977, around 400 metres below the summit.The pilot(supposedly named Paul Pavletich) was a colour-blind 57 year old man. He wanted to go home so badly that he asked for landing clearance again and again, and finally was given one. It’s believed that he didn’t see the higher terrain due to clouds and crashed into a tree. May he rest in peace. There is also an old log winch on your way to the plane wreck, if you’re interested. Harmonious birdsong will accompany you throughout the journey, and you can spot some Rufous Fantails and bowerbirds in the area. The track gets muddy and slippery in wet conditions, and leeches tend to come out from the mud. Cover yourself well and try to schedule the walk when it’s been dry for a few days. Also, watch out for spiky vines along the track. Look out for pink ribbons on trees for guidance.

Middle Kobble Creek Falls Circuit

10.4 km circuit

4 h, 6 h to 2 days

Middle Kobble Creek Falls Circuit

4 h, 6 h to 2 days

Starting from Mount Glorious Road, Mount Glorious, this walk takes you on a circuit in the woodlands of D’aguilar National Park, visiting Middle Kobble Creek Falls and a couple of campsites along the way. Accessible with a side trip from the bush camp nearby, the gorgeous waterfall has a tranquil feel to it. It’s best viewed after some decent rainfall, and generally teeming with skinks and freshwater(keelback) snakes. Although they’re mostly harmless, keelbacks can bite if threatened. You may come across lots of other wild animals such as goannas and boars as you explore the diverse rainforest. The track also has campsites on each side where you can spend the night(permit required) and make this a multiday trip. Keep in mind that these sites are old school, meaning you have to bring everything with you(don’t forget the mozzie spray). Good trekking shoes and hiking poles will lessen the load on your body. Keep an eye out for sunbaking snakes of different sizes and species.

Northbrook Mountain via Lawton Road

4 h, 6 h 30 min to 2 days

2 h 30 min to 3 h 45 min

Starting from Mt. Glorious Road, Mount Glorious, this return walk takes you to the summit of Northbrook mountain via the Lawton Road(fire trail), visiting Northbrook Mt. Bush Camp along the way. You may huff and puff along the track and maybe think that this was a waste of time and energy, but those thoughts will leave their place to pure satisfaction as you reach the lookout at the top. Expect to see literally hundreds of kilometres over the gorgeous set of mountains covered with dense forests. As you might’ve guessed, this spot makes for some incredible sunsets as well. The campsite near the summit is also a delight, a place where you can peacefully spend the night. You’ll be able to see plenty of wildlife including some interesting bird species such as the eastern whipbird and pitch-black drongos. The birdsong throughout the track only implies there are much more species out there for you to see. If you choose to stay at the campsite, make sure you prepare accordingly as the site doesn’t have toilets or water. Keep an eye out for snakes.
