Description
Eungella National Park's foothills endure tropical sun, but its mountain tops rise to a cool and often cloudy world where rainforest thrives. Here you can enjoy a short walk in the shade of giant trees and dense palms.
The Cedar Grove Track is part of the Mackay Highlands Great Walk. Continue from the Pine Grove Circuit to feel dwarfed by towering red cedars and tulip oaks. Take a moment to stand inside the strangler fig tree arch - a great photo opportunity. After crossing bridges over gentle creeks and brushing past livistona palm fronds, stay a while and relax at Sky Window picnic area.
