This gentle fire trail walk offers perhaps the greatest diversity of orchids in the region, though navigation is a little tricky as there are few signposts in a web of trails. Grass trees (Boomeri in the Maiangal language) and Gymea lilies also grow here in abundance. An optional sidetrip offers interesting views from an unnamed summit. Let us begin by acknowledging the Worimi people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
