Mt Remarkable National Park is a truly amazing walking destination, with a variety of walks from mountain tops to deep valleys and hidden gorges formed over 800 million years ago. It's the perfect place to unwind and connect with nature.
Summitting Mt Remarkable delivers amazing views of Melrose and the surrounding area as it contours around the mountain to the summit. You are then rewarded with eight kilometres of winding downhill track back on the other side of the mountain to Melrose. Walking into the majestic Narrows is a wonderful experience as the rugged gorge surrounds you and then leads into Alligator Gorge where you will walk over the ripples of ancient seabeds.
Walk though native pine forests of Mambray Creek Valley, past pools of permanent water with reflections from the rugged cliffs to Hidden Gorge. You will be amazed by the ever-changing colours of the cliffs as you walk through the Gorge to the top of Battery Track, where you will be blown away by the views, or the wind.
During the walks, look out for the rare Yellow Foot Wallaby, Peregrine Falcon or maybe a flowering Spider Orchid.
Learn about the uses and health benefits of ochre and relax with nature in a secluded section of the Park where we listen to the rippling sound of water as we soak our sore legs and smell the essence of the great outdoors. Throughout the walks, there will be regular breaks with ample opportunities for photos and to relax, listen and smell nature.
Relax at night around a warm campfire and indulge in camp oven desserts at the secluded Kookaburra Creek Retreat.
