Emmet Pocket
Emmet Pock is in Idalia National park whick is 113kms south west of Blackall. This is a difficult walk with steep grades up and down the gorge walls but is well worth the effort.

Beginning at Emmet Pocket lookout this steep meandering track leads into a gorge where the plains of the outback spread out before you—laid out like a map. Trees mark the waterways that stretch from rocks to river channels.

The start of Bullock Gorge walk is 14.7km north of the Monks Tank camping area. Rock markers define the walk along the Gowan Range’s ridge top through bendee shrubland. Take care here, as there are steep gorges on either side.
Look for small diggings of echidnas on the track. Watch the sun rise or set over spectacular gorges and look for yellow-footed rock-wallabies. While sitting, you have a wallaby’s eye view of the herbs they seek among the forest of trunks. Remember, bring a torch for sunset walks.

Nt. Nagiso-dake 南木曾岳 (Nagano Prefecture)
Mt. Nagiso is a small mountain located in the Central Alps. It lacks the alpine feel of some of the other hikes in the area such as Utsugi-dake and Kiso Koma ga Take, but nonetheless is a pretty decent hike. It sees very little foot traffic and has good views over Mt. Ena and onto Mt. Ontake. Some nice easy rock scrambling and some precarious bridges.
