The Federation Track

Brisbane City Council Local Walks
 

This track from the base of Mt Gravatt follows a track up the mountain, passing a lookout over the east. The path is quite rough in places with lots of loose rocks, though there are also steps and bridges. To reach the summit you need to turn left onto the Azania Way track at the end, and follow this for another .4km. You can then return back to where you started by following the summit track (1.2km)

Bird Gully Swamp

New South Wales
 

The track skirts the edge of a hanging swamp, still clearly defined after fire by the different plant communities. Acknowledge the traditional inhabitants of the land as you relax beside grinding grooves on the top of a picturesque waterfall with views of the gully. See the remains of the sand mining quarry which provided materials for the old Pacific Highway.

Note due to the fragility on the area this walk is only available as a guided tour.

Coominya to Esk - Part of BVRT

Brisbane Valley Rail Trail
 

This walk is part of the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, starts and finishes at the railway station. Coominya and Esk are small towns but have all services. Several large and impressive rail bridges along the track but not accessible, a lower river crossing. The walk passes through farm lands but mainly bush walking so plenty of gates to open and shut but not a walk to complete in Summer months. The trail is well marked so maps are not required. Coominya is accessible after a turnoff on the Brisbane Valley Highway. Public amenities and car parking at both ends of the walk but no public amenities on the track. No permits or costs for the walk.

Djyinda Walk

North Queensland
 

Walk to the base of Wallaman Falls, the highest permanent single drop waterfall in Australia at 268 meters. It’s not so much the distance that makes this trail a challenge, but rather the 228 metre descent (and more importantly, ascent back to the top!). But it’s worth every step. The track wanders through open forest, along the escarpment overlooking the Herbert River Valley, into the gorge and through thick rainforest. Take care and go slow - not just because the trail warrants it, but because there are few times in your life when you’ll get to experience untouched nature like this all to yourself.

Hell Hole Falls

Mt Jerusalem National Park
 

This is a well kept secret, that not even many of the locals know about! A strange name for such a beautiful place; it is a series of deep rock pools linked by small waterfalls before the creek plunges over the cliff into the Tweed Valley.
This rock formation is not part of Mt Warning's eruptions, but dates back before that time to the Chillingham volcanics.
A place for a cooling swim, picnic and to enjoy the tranquillity of the surroundings. It is rumoured that the waters of the rock pools contain a natural hair conditioner that lasts for weeks.

Not far from here the walk starts to lead steeply down enjoying more sandstone caves to cross under Galston Road to find the Galston trackhead.
