Mount Perry Summit Walk

Mt Perry. The walk up to the tree line is the hardest part. About 1km , constantly going up, in the sun and warmth of the morning really takes it out of you. The track through the trees and up to the peak is quite a good one and anyone who enjoys a good bush walk should have no problem reaching the peak. Once there the views are fantastic.

A rough trail leads through thick vine forest to the lookout before opening up into open hoop pine forest with some vine forest sections in the understory. Towering hoop pines greet hikers at the summit of Mt Woowoonga.

The Palms Circuit

Tucked away in the hills east of Cooyar, The Palms National Park is a gem worth making an effort to visit. Small in size, but big in nature, this tiny patch of remnant subtropical rainforest is filled with impressive piccabeen palms (Archontophoenix cunninghamiana) clinging to a waterlogged depression, towering fig trees and a rich suite of birdlife. It is also home to a colony of grey-headed flying foxes.

Officially marked as Grade 3/Medium difficulty (includes natural stairs, a narrow boardwalk + uneven or slippery surfaces), this walk is easily manageable for most ages and fitness levels.
