Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk

Day One: Unicorn Falls to Camp One (9.6km)

Begin your Gidjuum Gulganyi adventure in Mount Jerusalem National Park with a short side walk to Unicorn Falls. From here, follow the historic Whiskey Creek logging trail through dry sclerophyll forest, taking time to appreciate the birdsong and changing vegetation. As you continue, the open woodland gives way to taller, wetter forest and sheltered pockets of rainforest.

Walking with just your daypack, enjoy the opportunity to slow down as your guides share insights into the surrounding ecology. A highlight is Hell Hole Falls, where you can pause beside the water, soak up the forest surroundings and enjoy a refreshing swim if conditions allow.

Continue to your first wilderness camp, where spacious glamping tents, comfortable raised beds and hot showers await. Unwind with a cold beer or glass of wine before enjoying a hearty, chef-prepared dinner featuring local ingredients. Settle into your first evening in the bush, surrounded by the sounds of the forest.

‍Day Two: Camp One to Camp Two (18km)

Set out after breakfast for a rewarding day of climbing through towering blackbutt forest and lush subtropical rainforest. Today's challenging walk gains approximately 600 metres in elevation, with opportunities to pause, catch your breath and appreciate the changing forest along the way.

Breaks at spectacular lookouts reveal sweeping views towards Wollumbin (Mount Warning), Commissioners Creek and the surrounding Tweed Caldera. Take time to soak up the mountain scenery before crossing the Doon Doon Saddle, leaving Mount Jerusalem National Park and entering Nightcap National Park.

Continue to Tea Tree Lookout for another memorable outlook before ascending historic Nightcap Bluff and making your way to your second wilderness camp. With the day's biggest climbs behind you, settle into your prepared glamping accommodation, freshen up with a hot shower and unwind over local food and wine as evening falls.

Day Three: Camp Two to Weeun Weeun Camp (11.4 km)

After breakfast, leave camp for a gentler day of walking following yesterday's challenging ascent. Follow scenic ridgelines through alternating wet and dry sclerophyll forest, enjoying the changing canopy and expansive views across Goonengerry National Park and Coopers Creek.

Along the way, your guides bring the landscape to life, sharing insights into its ecology, geological history and Aboriginal heritage. Take time to appreciate the forest's quieter details, from the textures of eucalypt bark to the calls of birds overhead, as the trail gradually descends towards the Wanganui Gorge.

Arrive at secluded Weeun Weeun Camp, near the gorge, for your final evening in the forest. Freshen up, settle into your prepared glamping accommodation and enjoy an afternoon conversation with a local Widjabul Wia-bal Elder about the significance of the walk and Country. Gather over a nourishing dinner before retiring to the sounds of the surrounding bush.

Day Four: Weeun Weeun Camp to Minyon Grass (12 km)

Enjoy your final breakfast in the bush before setting out on the last stage of your Gidjuum Gulganyi adventure. Follow rainforest trails and tranquil creek crossings along the Boggy Creek Walk, taking time to savour the shaded forest and sounds of flowing water.

Continue through lush lowland subtropical rainforest towards the Valley of the Giants, where towering brush box, blackbutt and strangler figs provide a memorable finale to your journey. Your guides share insights into this rich forest environment as you make your way towards spectacular Minyon Falls.

Pause to appreciate the waterfall and surrounding volcanic escarpment before completing the climb to Minyon Grass. Celebrate four days on the trail with a farewell lunch, reflecting on the forests, wildlife and shared experiences along the way. Your return transfer to Byron Bay brings the adventure to a close.
