The
19km (12 miles) trail follows country that
ranges in hiking difficulty from easy flat land
to undulating country. The World Heritage Listed
Wooroonooran National Park is located in a
valley between the two tallest mountains of
Queensland, Mt. Bartle Frere (1622m) and Mt.
Bellenden Ker (1592m), and is a short drive
south of Cairns. Aborigines used the trail for
thousands of years, as later did gold
prospectors.
This rainforest contains refuge areas where some
species of wildlife and plant life exist
unchanged for millions of years. You will
experience spectacular scenery every step of the
way. After lunch on some large rocks in the
middle of the East Mulgrave River, you can
revitalize yourself in the crystal-clear
freshwater swimming holes. |
 |
|
| |
|
|
The
marvellous rainforest locations we visit are
remote and we seldom meet other hikers.
Frequently encountered animals include colourful
parrots, butterflies, kingfishers, wild pigs and
occasionally, the king of the rainforest, the
Cassowary.

|
|
If you like
fresh air, natural beauty, exercise, and the
chance to learn about the natural world we live
in, the Goldfield Trail tour is for you. |
