Best trails in Danbulla National Park

Uphill for about the first kilometre through very pleasant bushland vegetation. The view from rock platform is absolutely stunning and worth the climb. The signage can be limited to be prepared to navigate as needed. When you get to a crossroads with a ‘road’ and the trail leads forward, take the road as it’s gravelly and wide while being uneven, but leads back to Danbulla Road. The trail that leads straight ahead takes you through the scrub, with a myriad of trails leading off this main...

The Torpedo Bay Circuit is a fun and adventurous looped route through the forest above Lake Tinaroo in Danbulla National Park. The trail begins from Danbulla Forest Rd and begins its steep ascent immediately up the ridges above the lake. The trail is generally easy to follow on the way up and there are great views back over the water. Keep a keen eye for the junction to complete the circuit as it can be hard to locate.

A link of the Rejuvenation Track and Jungal Jungal Circuit Track. Rejuvenation is a very easy stroll through an area being re-vegetated with pines and natives, and links Downfall Creek Campground with Kauri Creek Campground. Jungal Jungal is a little more difficult with numerous stream crossings, mud and leeches, however still reasonably flat and short make this a moderate difficulty only.

Be sure to take a break at the creek and see if you can spot a platypus! Enjoy this stellar stroll through the rainforest of Danbulla National Park.

Drive or pedal along this fairly well constructed forestry road that meanders to create what many would say is the best rainforest circuit in the north. You will need a high-clearance vehicle if driving. The trail begins and ends from the Kauri Creek Day Use area and follows Danbulla Forest Drive for a little before turning left at a grove of pine trees, crossing over Robson Creek and through the lush rock gardens of the Robson Creek tributaries. From here you're in for a decent ascent to...
