Walks

Walking is usually the clearest way to feel a rainforest change. Ten minutes in, the temperature drops, the light turns green, and the sound of the outside world disappears under water and birdsong. Elevation changes the forest type. Being near a creek changes it again. None of that comes across from a lookout car park.

The walks covered here range from flat boardwalks suited to almost anyone through to longer circuits that need a full morning and proper footwear. Each guide notes distance, difficulty and what you're likely to see, so the walk can be matched to the time and fitness you actually have.
