The Silver Award Hike by EcoWalks Tours is a perfect choice for those seeking a multi-day trek that immerses them in the park’s stunning landscapes.

Along the way, guides share insights into local indigenous history and the area’s unique flora and fauna, from kookaburras and lorikeets to wallabies that quietly observe from the undergrowth.
