Daniels Lookout
This track winds up Boat Mountain then follows along the ridge at the top to offer sweeping views to the north.
There is a long man-made staircase at the beginning of this walk (approx. 190 steps), making this a Grade 3-4 difficulty trail, but the upper section of the track is mostly flat and very easy to follow, with views that are well worth the effort.

Glastonbury Creek to Point Pure
A 4.3km(one way) walk along the road to point pure lookout from the camp ground. Very uphill on the way to the lookout.
It travels along the 4WD track so the path is quite smooth to walk, although a bit steep. It is a bit exposed in places so sun protection is a must.
