Tackle one of Australia’s best multi-day rainforest hikes

When you think of the NSW North Coast, what springs to mind? Beautiful white-sand beaches? Or perhaps Byron Bay? There’s so much more to this region, and the 4-day, 3-night, Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk showcases some of the best natural wonders it has to offer. Set on the ancestral lands of the Widjabul Wia-bal and Minjungbal people of the Bundjalung Nation, this 42km trail is made up of mostly grade 4 tracks, linking Mount Jerusalem National Park, Whian Whian State Conservation Area and Nightcap National Park. [gallery size="article" ids="15619,15629,15633,15613"] It’s an adventurous hike that’s best suited to experienced walkers. Be prepared to traverse the rim of an ancient volcano; take in spectacular, sweeping views from high ridge lookouts; explore Gondwanan rainforest teeming with life; and dip your toes in cool, fresh waterholes. Until you experience this ancient landscape for yourself, you’ll never know just how much more this unique corner of NSW has in store. [block_green]Did you know? Gidjuum Gulganyi (pronounced: Gid-yum Gul-gan-yee) means ‘Old People’s Track’. The name was jointly chosen by the Widjabul Wia-bal Native Title Holders and the Minjungbal Bundjalung people. The name reflects the fact that the walk passes through ancient lands that Widjabul Wia-bal and Minjungbal people have traversed and occupied for many thousands of years.[/block_green]
