Environmental Walkway

A wonderful opportunity for bird watching, as the foreshores of Tin Can Bay can be explored via the 'environmental walkway'. This allows visitors to observe the inhabitants of the foreshores in comfort and without disturbing their natural habitat. There is an excellent environmental walkway which runs along the foreshore of Tin Can Inlet. A well maintained path through the foreshore bushland with raised wooden walkways. There are lots of detailed signs explaining the flora and fauna, with a specific Foreshore Bird Walk with photos for identification purposes.

Kinbombi Falls

Located next to a camping area with picnic and toilet facilities, the Kinbombi Falls walks are a network of 3 short tracks that descend into a deep gully containing a seasonally flowing creek/waterfall. The combined walks could be done in under an hour, but it is worth setting aside more time to enjoy and explore the gully. Tracks 1 and 3 both have an unstable, unpaved section towards the bottom of the gully.

Mount Perry Summit Walk

Mt Perry. The walk up to the tree line is the hardest part. About 1km , constantly going up, in the sun and warmth of the morning really takes it out of you. The track through the trees and up to the peak is quite a good one and anyone who enjoys a good bush walk should have no problem reaching the peak. Once there the views are fantastic.
