This walk eventually links to the Warringa Pool Track which leads onto the Purling Brook Falls Circuit and is the route taken by the Gold Coast Hinterland Great Walk.

This circuit branches off ship's stern 3.7 km from the trail head. It passes through a variety of habitat types and there are some impressive views. You can start from either just south of the information center (500 m) and walk clockwise or start at Binna Burra and walk anticlockwise. Either way, you'll be walking down or up 2.5km of road. A nice 3 km diversion is to go down to Lower Ballunjul Falls.
