Kauri Walker's Camp - QLD

End your long day's walk at this walkers’ camp in cool, sheltered rainforest , one of several along the Cooloola Great Walk. Sleep surrounded by slender piccabeen palms and towering blue quandong, lilly pilly and strangler figs. Look for fungi of all shapes, sizes and colours that grow in this moist environment. Listen for the ‘Cooloola chorus’ of rainforest birds, and the piercing whip-crack call of eastern whipbirds.

If you’re lucky you may spot a carpet python sporting its beautiful colour patterns in the rainforest. Notice the imposing kauri pine growing nearby—lie one of the picnic platforms and gaze up at its ‘gun barrel’ trunks.
