Mcgrory Falls via Pine Gorge
This is a relatively tough but short hike, leading to one of the biggest yet lesser known waterfalls. The first 3/5ths of the track is well maintained though from Pine Gorge Lookout there is a steep descent into Pine Gorge. It would be a good idea to bring some flagging tape to mark the exit point in the gorge.

Curtis Island
This walk takes you along the eastern coastline of Curtis Island, starting from South End. There are two established camp sites along the eastern coast (Turtle St - about 15km, and Joey Lees - about 29km), and another at the northern end (Yellow Patch). This is a fairly exposed walk, along the beach in some areas and along the top of the headland in others. It would be much too hot in summer. The views are pretty spectacular the whole way and it is not busy at all - we walked on a long weekend and met one group of 4WD'ers, and no other walkers. There are no facilities along the way- you will need to bring all of your own water.
