Rocky Creek via Blue Fig

4.8 km return

1 h to 2 h

Rocky Creek via Blue Fig

Starting from the intersection of Nightcap Range Road and Blue Fig Road, Whian Whian, this return walk takes you to the foreshore of Rocky Creek, exploring the woodland of the state conservation area along the way. The little cascades alone are worth the undemanding stroll of a walk, but that’s not the only thing this track offers. A peaceful picnic area awaits you beside the creek, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery with your whole family. Let your kids bring their mountain bikes and have fun while you savor the tranquilizing experience. The fire trail is well marked and even, and the lack of people strengthens the feeling of remoteness. Please refrain from swimming or washing anything in the creek as this is a water catchment area, you could destroy the eggs of rare frog species. Keep an eye out for snakes. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Minyon Falls Walk

6.6 km circuit

2 h to 3 h

Minyon Falls Walk

Starting from the Minyon Falls car park on Minyon Drive, Whian Whian, this walk takes you on a circuit past the Minyon Falls Lookout, the base of Minyon Falls and the Minyon Grass Lookout via the Minyon Falls Walk. This moderately challenging loop initially follows a boardwalk to a wheelchair accessible lookout at the top of Minyon Falls, an impressive 100m high plunge waterfall located within Nightcap National Park. From there, the walk crosses Repentance Creek via stepping stones and follows the ridge through dry eucalypt forest, passing an optional side trip to Condong Falls, then descends into the gorge and continues through dense rainforest, passing small cascades and crystal clear creeks. The walk crosses Repentance Creek again before reaching a large pile of boulders, marked with orange triangles, which requires scrambling over to reach the base of Minyon Falls. After exploring the waterfall and swimming hole, walkers can continue to the Minyon Grass Lookout, which offers spectacular views across the rainforest towards the falls. The walk can also be started from the Minyon Grass car park and can be done as a loop by walking along Minyon Drive from one car park to the other. This loop consists of wide and narrow walking trails and unsealed roads, with uneven natural surfaces, compacted natural surfaces, compacted gravel surfaces, boardwalk sections, rock scrambling sections, creek crossings, steep hills and steps, suitable for moderate fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Starting from Newton Drive, Nightcap, this walk takes you to the Rummery Park Campground via the Historic Nightcap Track, Gibbergunyah Range Road and Peates Mountain Road; optionally visiting Mt Nardi, Mt Matheson and Peates Mountain along the way. Embark on a journey through the diverse and lively woodland, and notice the scenery change as you make your way through. The rainforest sections are mostly shaded and cool, where you can see tons of wildlife. Keep an eye on trees to spot koalas and tiger(spotted tail) quolls, but don’t be surprised by the parma wallaby that’s giving you a suspicious look. The area is also home to some rare and endangered bird species such as the red goshawk and the black-breasted button-quail. You’ll have a chance to get good views of Mount Warning(Wollumbin) as well. Keep in mind that you can stay at the Rummery Park Campground and head back to make this a return trip. The track is mostly undemanding, yet the length of it might be tiring. Remember to take plenty of water. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
