Notes

  • Keep an eye out for cassowaries, snakes, and pigs. Remember to maintain a safe distance, respect their habitat, and never approach or feed the animals.
  • In the summer months, march flies can be a nuisance. Make sure to pack insect repellent and wear long sleeves and pants to minimize bites.
  • Pack the essentials: Bring enough food and water for the entire hike, as well as a first aid kit, sunscreen, a hat, a camera or phone, and appropriate clothing.
  • Practice Leave No Trace principles. Ensure that you leave the trail as you found it by packing out all trash, staying on designated paths, and respecting wildlife.
