The Journey to Godwin's Peak

At 783 metres elevation and about 8 km of hiking, Godwin's Peak has to be the best mountain summit in all of Paluma Range National Park and is certainly a magical part of North Queensland. You'll be rewarded with 360-degree panoramic views of Mt Halifax, Townsville City, and the coast.

Hiking Mount Halifax

Mount Halifax is the highest (1,063 metres) and most prominent peak north of Townsville on mainland Australia until you reach the Tully area. Summiting Mount Halifax is strenuous, and you will need to be fit to do it. However, it is definitely worthwhile.
