Information

Jambal (snake) walk 20.6 km return | 2days | difficult Wind your way through 9 km of open forest, enjoying spectacular views of the Herbert River Gorge, before reaching the edge of the escarpment. The track then drops steeply onto a riverbank lined with shady she-oak trees. Beware! As refreshing as a dip may appear, do not swim as the river is home to estuarine crocodiles. Camp overnight before returning the same way.Juwun (Herbert River Gorge) walK 51 km one way | 4-6 days. I difficult Follow the Jambal walk into the Herbert River Gorge. camp overnight at Blanket Creek camping area before following the Herbert River to Orange Tree. From there a track leads you to the Yamanie pick-up point. Walls of rock over 100 m high line both sides of the gorge. Where creeks run into the river tacular gorges and rainforest-clad ridges are a mighlight. The river is the centre of life in the gorge. It provides a permanent source of water for wildlife. Wallabies drink from it and sea-eagles fish in it. For barramundi and freshwater turtles, it is home. The rocky surfaces can make the trip through the gorge slow and difficult. In places, animal trails may make the walking easier. Keep watch for feral cattle and pigs. Never deliberately startle or approach these animals and ensure they have a clear path to escape.
