Day 1

approx 4.5 kms, 2 hours

Between 8am - 9am the morning of departure you will be picked up from your accommodation house in Childers or Hervey Bay before taking the Mary River barge across to Wanggoolba Creek.  After a short drive the tour arrives at the beautiful and historic Central Station where we set up at the walkers’ camp amongst the giants of the vine forest.

In the afternoon we start the walking tour with a two-hour circuit walk to Pile Valley taking in the magnificent Satinay trees and wander along the banks of crystal clear Wanggoolba Creek. Here amongst the palms and vines grows the rare King Fern – Angiopteris evecta.
