Walks to wanderBe invigorated on one of the many bushwalks that go deep

into the heart of the park—with not a high-rise in sight. Listen

for the sounds of roaring cascades and birdsong, the rustle of

animals in the bush, the crackle of leaves under foot. Immerse

yourself deeper into wilderness with every step.

Experience walks in South D’AguilarTake the family on a gentle circuit stroll through fragrant

eucalypt forest and cool damp rainforest on the Pitta circuit

at Boombana 5 . Marvel at the alien-like fig trees stretching

towards the canopy and greet some of the ‘locals’—red-

necked pademelons, satin bowerbirds and land mullets all

call this place home.

Meander past giant hoop pines along the shores of Enoggera

Reservoir on the Araucaria track at Walkabout Creek

Discovery Centre 1 . If you’re lucky, you might catch a

glimpse of the resident white-bellied sea-eagle soaring over

the lake on the hunt for turtles.

Soak in the smell of rain dripping from lush ferns and palm

groves on the Greenes Falls track at Maiala 8 , where a

downhill track over rainforest pools arrives at the spectacular

Greenes Falls lookout. Be prepared for a steep climb back!

Experience walks in North D’Aguilar Walk in the footsteps of timber-getters whose sweat and

tears once drenched the now abandoned sawmills at

The Gantry 12 on the short Piccabeen walk.

Looking for a challenge? The Somerset trail at The Gantry

12 is the perfect half-day hike, offering adventure through

rare scribbly gum forest, montane heath and piccabeen

plam groves. Unquestionably, it has the park’s best view,

stretching impressively out to the west over Somerset Dam

and Lake Wivenhoe.

Camp peacefully There’s no finer end to a day of adventure than to kick back

by a crackling campfire and watch the sun drop below the

tree-lined range. Relax under the stars at one of two formal

camping areas in North D’Aguilar—Neurum Creek 16 and

Archer 17 —offering family-friendly camping (tent only) with

toilet and barbecue facilities. Open fires can be enjoyed in

the fireplaces and fire rings provided.

Bush camping Seek a quiet retreat at one of eight walk-in-only bush camping

sites nestled in the back country of South D’Aguilar.

There are no facilities at these sites, so you will need to bring

everything you need, including a portable waste disposal kit

and drinking water. More information about bush campsite

locations and facilities can be found at qld.gov.au/Daguilar

Camping bookings Organise your camping permit online at qld.gov.au/Camping

before you arrive.

It’s magic just before the sun sets, when gliders and

possums creep out from the old tree hollows, and you

can hear koalas calling out to one another. Spending

time with family and friends in nature—nothing beats

camping in the bush.

Ranger JayThe thing that strikes me

most about this park is the

diversity of both landscapes

and experiences. Brimming

with opportunities for

adventure, this park’s

magnetic energy will

draw you back for more.

Drive safely• Vehicles are not permitted in South D’Aguilar section.

• North D’Aguilar section is often closed after heavy rain—check for park closure alerts online before you visit to avoid disappointment.

• The maximum speed limit on all forest drives is 40km/hr.

Keen to explore off the beaten track?

Rangers recommend you purchase a detailed topographic map from Walkabout Creek Discovery Centre 1 to avoid getting lost.

Explore the centre Be transported through Queensland’s beautiful national

parks from a panoramic virtual lookout, or come face-to-face

with fascinating creatures at a ranger-led Wildlife Discovery

Show. Visit the Wildlife Centre showcasing wildlife of

national parks, where the world’s most intriguing mammal—

the platypus—steals the show diving for crayfish and worms

in the Gondwana-inspired rock pool. Relax with a picnic

under the trees, or head to the Green Tree Frog Café for lunch

(open 10am to 2pm Monday–Friday, and 9am to 4pm on

weekends). The Information Centre and Wildlife Centre

are open from 9am to 4.30pm every day, excluding some

public holidays.

Ride adventurously Ignite your sense of adventure as you ride horses and

mountain bikes through a winding network of shared trails.

Cyclists can also enjoy exploring the management roads

leading to more remote sections of the park. Check out

these recommendations from the rangers:

Perfect for horseriding, start a 22km return steep gully ride

at Black Soil Road, between Camp Mountain 3 and Jollys

Lookout 4. Turn right onto South Boundary Road and

travel through dappled eucalypt woodland along Creek

and Augies roads to Mount Nebo Road, at Bullockys Knob.

Cyclists can enjoy a longer flowing ride along South

Boundary Road, starting at Payne Road near Enoggera

Reservoir in The Gap and climbing up to the cool rainforest

township of Mount Nebo to enjoy a refreshing drink at one

of the local cafes (44km return).

Paddle peacefully or play on the beach at Enoggera

Reservoir—keep watch for kingfishers perched on branches above the water’s edge and freshwater turtle eggs laid in the sand!

The vast skies capping this mountainous wilderness offer a panoramic backdrop for

birdwatching. Grey goshawks freefall into the valley; sulphur- crested cockatoos (above left) rise together as white clouds.

Walks to wanderBe invigorated on one of the many bushwalks that go deep

into the heart of the park—with not a high-rise in sight. Listen

for the sounds of roaring cascades and birdsong, the rustle of

animals in the bush, the crackle of leaves under foot. Immerse

yourself deeper into wilderness with every step.

Experience walks in South D’AguilarTake the family on a gentle circuit stroll through fragrant

eucalypt forest and cool damp rainforest on the Pitta circuit

at Boombana 5. Marvel at the alien-like fig trees stretching

towards the canopy and greet some of the ‘locals’—red-

necked pademelons, satin bowerbirds and land mullets all

call this place home.

Meander past giant hoop pines along the shores of Enoggera

Reservoir on the Araucaria track at Walkabout Creek

Discovery Centre 1. If you’re lucky, you might catch a

glimpse of the resident white-bellied sea-eagle soaring over

the lake on the hunt for turtles.

Soak in the smell of rain dripping from lush ferns and palm

groves on the Greenes Falls track at Maiala 8, where a

downhill track over rainforest pools arrives at the spectacular

Greenes Falls lookout. Be prepared for a steep climb back!

Experience walks in North D’Aguilar Walk in the footsteps of timber-getters whose sweat and

tears once drenched the now abandoned sawmills at

The Gantry 12 on the short Piccabeen walk.

Looking for a challenge? The Somerset trail at The Gantry

12 is the perfect half-day hike, offering adventure through

rare scribbly gum forest, montane heath and piccabeen

plam groves. Unquestionably, it has the park’s best view,

stretching impressively out to the west over Somerset Dam

and Lake Wivenhoe.

Camp peacefully There’s no finer end to a day of adventure than to kick back

by a crackling campfire and watch the sun drop below the

tree-lined range. Relax under the stars at one of two formal

camping areas in North D’Aguilar—Neurum Creek 16 and

Archer 17—offering family-friendly camping (tent only) with

toilet and barbecue facilities. Open fires can be enjoyed in

the fireplaces and fire rings provided.

Bush camping Seek a quiet retreat at one of eight walk-in-only bush camping

sites nestled in the back country of South D’Aguilar.

There are no facilities at these sites, so you will need to bring

everything you need, including a portable waste disposal kit

and drinking water. More information about bush campsite

locations and facilities can be found at qld.gov.au/Daguilar

Camping bookings Organise your camping permit online at qld.gov.au/Camping

before you arrive.

It’s magic just before the sun sets, when gliders and

possums creep out from the old tree hollows, and you

can hear koalas calling out to one another. Spending

time with family and friends in nature—nothing beats

camping in the bush.

Ranger JayThe thing that strikes me

most about this park is the

diversity of both landscapes

and experiences. Brimming

with opportunities for

adventure, this park’s

magnetic energy will

draw you back for more.

Ranger Andrew

Drive safely• Vehicles are not permitted in South D’Aguilar section.

• North D’Aguilar section is often closed after heavy rain—check for park closure alerts online before you visit to avoid disappointment.

• The maximum speed limit on all forest drives is 40km/hr.

Keen to explore off the beaten track?

Rangers recommend you purchase a detailed topographic map from Walkabout Creek Discovery Centre 1 to avoid getting lost.

Explore the centre Be transported through Queensland’s beautiful national

parks from a panoramic virtual lookout, or come face-to-face

with fascinating creatures at a ranger-led Wildlife Discovery

Show. Visit the Wildlife Centre showcasing wildlife of

national parks, where the world’s most intriguing mammal—

the platypus—steals the show diving for crayfish and worms

in the Gondwana-inspired rock pool. Relax with a picnic

under the trees, or head to the Green Tree Frog Café for lunch

(open 10am to 2pm Monday–Friday, and 9am to 4pm on

weekends). The Information Centre and Wildlife Centre

are open from 9am to 4.30pm every day, excluding some

public holidays.

Ride adventurously Ignite your sense of adventure as you ride horses and

mountain bikes through a winding network of shared trails.

Cyclists can also enjoy exploring the management roads

leading to more remote sections of the park. Check out

these recommendations from the rangers:

Perfect for horseriding, start a 22km return steep gully ride

at Black Soil Road, between Camp Mountain 3 and Jollys

Lookout 4 . Turn right onto South Boundary Road and

travel through dappled eucalypt woodland along Creek

and Augies roads to Mount Nebo Road, at Bullockys Knob.

Cyclists can enjoy a longer flowing ride along South

Boundary Road, starting at Payne Road near Enoggera

Reservoir in The Gap and climbing up to the cool rainforest

township of Mount Nebo to enjoy a refreshing drink at one

of the local cafes (44km return).

If you’ve never witnessed frogs in the

wild, Bullockys Knob at twilight is the

place to hear a spectacular vocal display

from these amphibious troubadours.

Striped marsh frogs, tusked frogs and

graceful tree frogs are just some of

many you’ll hear in chorus.

Ranger Diana

Westridge outlook has these dramatic

rocky boulders and a breathtaking view—

the perfect place to catch a bit of quiet.

Maiala is definitely the jewel in D’Aguilar’s

friends and family, this would be it.

Ranger Jay

Safe travels • There is no direct vehicle access between North and

South D’Aguilar sections.

• For longer walks, rides or drives, let somebody know

where you are going, when you plan to return and

what to do if you’re late or lost.

• In case of bushfires, stay away from thick bushland

and stay low to the ground where the air is coolest.

In an emergency call Triple Zero (000) or 106 if

speech or hearing impaired.

• Never dive or jump into water as dangerous

submerged objects can be hard to see.

• All trails and roads in D’Aguilar National Park are

longer than they appear on this map.

• Be aware that the western aspect of the park

increases exposure to the elements.

The essential pack list • Mobile phone—keep in mind that reception may

be poor in places.

• First-aid kit—you never know when you might need it.

• Strong plastic bags or containers to remove your

rubbish. There are no bins in the park.

• Untreated, clean milled firewood for wood barbecues

as firewood cannot be collected from the park.

• Drinking water or sterilisation tablets—safe drinking

water is not provided at all sites in the park.

This park is so diverse and so large that you can

feel like you’re the only person in the world here,

even though the city is just next door.

This map is indicative and should not replace the topographic map for navigation.

All vehicles (including trail bikes) must be registered and must be driven by a licensed driver.

Domestic animals (other than horses that are permitted on the SEQ horse trails) are not permitted anywhere in D’Aguilar National Park.
