This trail is not marked at the rock pools but is well established as it is a shared trail with mountain bikers. To get to the start just walk 25mtrs past the causeway and you will see it on the right. Follow the trail up a slight undulating hill. It does meet up with a small 4x4 track, but shoots off again to the left on a couple of occasions. When you get to the end, you can either return via the way you've come, or you can follow the main dirt road back down to the rock pools. Keep an eye out for wallabies bounding around.

This track leaves from the northern end of the day-use area and leads through open eucalyptus forest to the southern end of the day-use area. You may be lucky enough to see a carpet python basking in the sun or a large grass-yellow butterfly Eurema hecabe flutter by. Watch and listen for the pied currawong and laughing kookaburra.

This one starts from the Thungutti camp area adjacent to the Styx river in the New England NP NSW. Listen out for the Honey Eaters amongst the Banksia and Tea Tree and walk through forests of Hanging and Sphagnum moss that form on the path you walk. A true walk back in time to Gondwana land. If time allows, you can continue to Point Lookout.

This one can be taken from a couple of points to get the loop in. Be prepared to traverse along rocky and tree root covered paths. Beware of the odd land slip and there are many steps worked into the root system of trees going up and down. Can be a loop with Upper and Lower trail.

Donna Cave is one of the 3 caves in Chillagoe managed by the NPWS. Access is only by guided tour with a NPWS Ranger who provides a commentary on the formation and history of the cave.
The cave is well lit and has steel walkways and stairs (approx. 300) throughout.
The stalactites and stalagmites are awesome and the whole experience is well worth the effort.
