A steep climb up the northwestern ridge of Flinders Peak, passing over several crests giving expansive views north to Brisbane on the way up. As it climbs higher, views expand to include the Fassifern Valley and south west to Lamington plateau.
The final segment descends from Little Flinders across a col and ascends again to Flinders Peak. This is the most rugged section of the track and extra caution is required. Rock scrambling skills and strong boots are essential. Views from the peak can be stunning.

Combines rainforest, palm groves and open eucalypt forest, wildflower vegetation and excellent lookouts over the Numinbah Valley. A short side trip takes in the Lower Ballanjui Falls. The Ship's Stern Walk is one of the most magnificent walks in the Park. It is particularly excellent in winter and spring, especially the latter when wildflowers are often abundant. The Binna Burra lodge offers convenient accommodation for an early start or an overnighter, and also has a cafe with a view that's a great way to finish this track.

A short circuit which takes you through shady dry rainforest then out to Koondaii Lookout with views of the western side of the Bunya Mountains over the Darling Downs. The cliff face falls away sharply providing you with a treetop canopy view into the valley below.
Officially a Grade 4/Hard track (some steep sections, stairs, and cliff-edges to be aware of), this walk would be manageable for most people with a moderate level of fitness.

Approximately 8km walk from the stone gate, and then via the old stone cottage to South Bald Rock remote bush camp (yes, there's a "camp"). This walk takes you East along some lovely grassy flat land and around a few rocky outcrops before travelling clockwise around the Northern edge of West Bald Rock, then South, counter-clockwise around Middle Bald Rock, before finally descending into a semi-swampy valley on the Western edge of South Bald Rock. Around the rocky areas there's some ups and downs but easily achievable for someone of moderate fitness and ability. There's a lone "no fires" sign installed indicating the general camp area. Pick your camp site well, as with just a reasonable shower of rain the water only goes downhill. Wouldn't recommend this location during heavy storms or heavy rains, as rising creeks could be hard to predict for beginners.

Mamukala wetlands is a bird-lover’s dream. This short walk allows bird-watchers to see an astonishing variety of bird life.
Birdlife
Nestled into the paperbarks is an observation platform that allows you to quietly view the birdlife, there is also a mural that illustrates the seasonal changes that occur throughout the year.
With large numbers of magpie geese, kites, comb-crested jacanas, cormorants, willie wagtails, purple swamp hens, finches and kingfishers that congregate in this magnificent billabong this makes for one of the best birdwatching areas in Kakadu.
If you are lucky you may even spot an agile wallaby or the occasional crocodile loitering around the edge of the billabong.
