Box Forest Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Box Forest Track winds through dense subtropical rainforest, passing stands of towering brush box trees and along shaded gullies. It offers a cooler, sheltered walk with plenty of birdlife and moss‑covered rocks along the way. The track connects with other routes in the park, making it a popular option for a forest‑focused experience.

Main Range National Park

Highlight • Natural

Main Range Naitonal Park is part of the Gondwana Rainforests and a UNECO World Heritage site. The namesake mountain range is thought to be the result of a large shield volcano that erupted between 25 and 22 million years ago. The steep slopes have protected the rainforest from being cleared and as a result many rare and endangered species have found refuge here.

Mount Mitchell Summit

Highlight • Summit

The end of the Mt Mitchell walk ends up on the summit of Mt Mitchell - where the land drops away on three sides in sheer cliffs. So there are amazing views almost all of the way around.
