The Box Vale Mine track follows the formation of a historic railway line and passes through cuttings, along embankments and through a tunnel 84 metres in length. Although much of the surrounding terrain is steep and rocky, the four point four kilometre walking track has easy grades and the return walk takes about three hours. There is also a one point eight kilometre spur track through pleasant bush land to 40 foot falls and a very steep track leads to vantage point below the falls. Picnic tables and barbecues are provided near the track head car park.

A nice easy walk along the old abandoned Murwillumbah to Casino railway line (1894 to 2004) from Stokers Siding to the biggest tunnel (524m) on that line, with plenty of glow worms and some micro bats.
This section of the track is now contained within the Northern Rivers Rail Trail - Tweed Section (2023).

From the Eastern end of Wategos popular beach parking is difficult. Enter trail and take it up to the light house and back passing the furthest East point of the Australian mainland.
About a k and half each way plus another k for detour to Cape Byon. Optional detour to Little Wategos Beach/ lookout via board walk.

Short walk through rainforest. The track doesn't seem to get too much use and so isn't very clear in some places due to the leaf litter. There was a fallen tree near the end in what looked a bit like a clearing making it difficult to see where to go next. The path was to the right of the tree and we realised that we were all but back to the start. Not a very interesting walk. Disappointing.
