(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Mount GloriousPass-by Only
After picking you up, we drive up to Mount Glorious. The winding road to the Maiala walking track goes through the subtropical rainforest of the D’Aguilar National Park. This scenic drive has spectacular and stunning natural features.
D’Aguilar National Park
Starting at the Rainforest circuit we will wander through a magical forest of strangler figs, ferns, palms, fungi, and climbing lianas. We will admire the majestic beauty of an old Sydney blue gum, a magnificent survivor of the eucalypt forest that once dominated this area. The characteristic calls of the Whipbird, Catbird, and Woompo Dove will hopefully help you to spot them. Besides the countless little birds, you might be lucky to see skinks, Land Mullets or Lace Monitors.
D’Aguilar National Park
We will continue towards The Green Falls along the boardwalk and admire giant fig trees, twisted roots and colourful flowers and fungi decorating the forest floor. Pademelons and log runners can be seen creeping out from the shady undergrowth. Near the creeks, we will spot the holes where the endangered Mount Glorious spiny crayfish, a shy, nocturnal creature can be found. There can be water found in the waterfall year-round but is at its best after heavy rain. The walk to the falls is mostly downhill, so be prepared for an uphill return trip.
