Warren Gorge Loop Trail
The Warren Gorge walking trail provides excellent examples of vegetation in the Flinders Ranges. You will pass through different micro-climates which are evident by the change in vegetation and geology. The trail takes you to a lookout locally known as Smoke-oh Lookout. In Australia, the term Smoke-oh is a commonly used colloquial name fora morning or afternoon tea break or other break in the working day, making it an ideal name for this lookout, which provides an excellent spot to stop and rest on the trail.
The Warren Gorge Loop Trail is 5.2kms long and takes between 1.5- 3 hours to complete. It is easy to moderate depending on your level of fitness. There are some loose surfaces and short steep parts.

Mt Tibberoowuccum
A steep walk to the summit of the mountain, a bit of an uneven but level scramble along the ridge for about 50m with a small 6-8m steep scramble to get to the peak at the end of it. Summit has spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and north to the Sunshine Coast. There are two alternative tracks which meet at the the top of the ridge at a point where an arrow painted on a rock directs you along the ridge to the summit. Take care as both tracks can be slippery after rain due to wet clay/ tree roots and loose shale at the top of the tracks can be a concern in any weather as well.

Bayview Conservation Area (Kidd Street Entrance)
Multiple trails that crisscross the area. Includes the Birdcage Trail, an easy 1900m walk that is one of the many trails through the Bayview Conservation Area. Glimpses of the ever-growing suburbia nearby, the track winds through natural bushland with many native grass trees. Passes the "birdcage" itself, a quirky work of imagination.
As of July, 2025, the area was heavily battered by "Alfred" and next to it commenced a huge housing development. Likely, there will be another trailhead/ access in years to come.

Akiyoshi Cave 秋芳洞 (Akiyoshidai Quasi-National Park, Yamaguchi Prefecture)
Akiyoshi Cave is the largest limestone cave in all of Japan and it is really cool. I've been to a lot of limestone caves in Japan and this is by far the most impressive. Even if you don't do any proper mountain hiking in the park, I really recommend this one.

Mt. Nishi 西の西山 (Akiyoshidai Quasi-National Park, Yamaguchi Prefecture)
A pretty decent look at some karst topography, not as cool as Mt. Nuki in Kitakyushu but does the job. Akiyoshidai is much more expansive and this hike can be combined with many others to make for a full day.
