The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service is on a roll! They’ve just opened another multi-day walk, this time in northern NSW.
The 42km/4-day Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk is a stunning multi-day rainforest hike linking linking Mount Jerusalem National Park, Whian Whian State Conservation Area and Nightcap National Park.
It’s an adventurous walk that’s best suited to experienced walkers. Be prepared to traverse the rim of an ancient volcano; take in spectacular, sweeping views from high ridge lookouts; explore Gondwanan rainforest teeming with life; and dip your toes in cool, fresh waterholes.
Starting just outside the small historical village of Uki, this hike has limited parking options. The best way to reach the track head is via an optional shuttle bus service, which will transport you from airports and nearby towns and pick you up at the end of the walk.
You can also hit the trail using a local tour operator, with a range of tailored walking experiences to choose from. Opt for an authentic full pack hiking experience or travel light with a day pack and let your tour guide take care of setting up camp each night.
After something a bit fancier? Join a luxe guided tour that includes chef-prepared meals and comfortable sleeping arrangements. With environmental scientists and Aboriginal culture specialists as your guides, you’ll also learn about the region along the way. Find more information and make a booking here.
