Starting from Long Point parking area this circuit walk in Oxley Wild Rivers National Park leads through unique dry rainforest to Chandlers Lookout and scenic views over the river. Let us begin by acknowledging the Gumbaynggirr & Anaiwan people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
