Most people come here for the Dinosaur Stampede exhibit, a unique preservation of footprints and multimedia presentation of how they may have come to be. Around the site are a couple of walks - the Spinifex circuit (500m, 30mins) and Jump-Up Loop (90mins, 3.5km) - that showcase the arid landscape around this area and are well-signposted with information cards to entertain the young and old and worthwhile either before or after viewing the Stampede. Do take a hat and water. The sun is cruel even in winter.
Climbs up from Lake St Clair to Mt Rufus, which provides sweeping views over Lake St Clair, Mt Olympus, Frenchmans Cap and the headwaters of the Franklin River. You can return the same way, or do a circuit which takes you back past Shadow Lake (a large alpine tarn). Incredible displays of flowering heath (scoparia) in summer. A well marked track with boardwalks in sections.
4 hour walk from Wangoolba Creek to Lake McKenzie walkers camp on Fraser Island. Great little camp just a short walk from the lake, fully fenced from dingos.
A short walk through the mangroves. At the end there is a bird tower that overviews the Coombabah lake.
Gordonbrook Dam is the sole water supply for Kingaroy and a peaceful spot to unwind. Take in the beautiful dam views from the viewing platform or a variety of walking tracks along the waters edge.
The Clagiraba Creek trail (5.3 kilometres return from the Bellis Road entrance) takes you deep into the green tranquillity of subtropical rainforests. It's possible to access the Clagiraba Creek trail from Barcoo Court, but be prepared for a more challenging route with steeper hills, popular with mountain bike riders and horse riders.
This track follows the remnants of the South Coast Railway. With a short trail walk to the tunnel.
There is no direct track, just a heap of different paths, where you can wonder through the conservation area spotting all sorts of wildlife. Especially kangaroos, that are slowly becoming more used to humans, so you can get some really nice photos of some semi wild kangaroos. Otherwise there are koalas and bird life also to enjoy.
A great family walk up the side of the gorge to the lookout out across Obi Obi Creek as it heads north from the Baroon Dam and into the Blackall Range to join the Mary River.
Lake Rhona is classified as a "hung lake" which is 900 meters above sea level and is the result of Ice Age Glaciers. This a hard 2 day 28km hike within the Wild Rivers National Park in the South West wilderness area of Tasmania. Situated in the midst of the Denison Ranges, the Lake’s beautiful pink/white quartzite sands surrounded by dominate ridges make it a truly unique Lake. The track follows flat button grass marshland for a majority of the way before a short hard climb of 400m to the final section below the Lake. This is your typical Tasmanian bush bashing walk. You will be muddy, scratched, bruised and weary at the end of each day. The track is exposed for most of the way.
