Green Arrow Walking Track to Mount Whitfield

Starting from the end of The Peak Road, Brinsmead, this walk takes you to the summit of Mount Whitfield and back via the Green Arrow Walking Track, exploring the lively rainforest along the way. A favourite amongst trail runners, this track features urban, rural and natural views throughout. The rainforest canopy provides a good amount of shade, and the tracks are decent enough to work those calves out. Remember to take in the scenery every once in a while and look for goannas and tree kangaroos. The tracks may become slippery after rainfall, so take care and wear grippy footwear. 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.
