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...

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.

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...
