After picking you up, we drive up to Mount Glorious. The winding road to the Maiala walking track goes through the subtropical rainforest of the D’Aguilar National Park. This scenic drive has spectacular and stunning natural features.
Stop At: D’Aguilar National Park, 60 Mt Nebo Rd The Gap, Brisbane, Queensland Australia
Starting at the Rainforest circuit we will wander through a magical forest of strangler figs, ferns, palms, fungi, and climbing lianas. We will admire the majestic beauty of an old Sydney blue gum, a magnificent survivor of the eucalypt forest that once dominated this area. The characteristic calls of the Whipbird, Catbird, and Woompo Dove will hopefully help you to spot them. Besides the countless little birds, you might be lucky to see skinks, Land Mullets or Lace Monitors.

We will continue towards The Green Falls along the boardwalk and admire giant fig trees, twisted roots and colourful flowers and fungi decorating the forest floor. Pademelons and log runners can be seen creeping out from the shady undergrowth.
Near the creeks, we will spot the holes where the endangered Mount Glorious spiny crayfish, a shy, nocturnal creature can be found.
There can be water found in the waterfall year-round but is at its best after heavy rain.
The walk to the falls is mostly downhill, so be prepared for an uphill return trip.

We continue on the Cypress Grove Track. This is a short walk branching off the Rainforest circuit.
The walk weaves through large eucalypt trees, vines, and a small grove of native cypress pines.
We may spot white-browed scrubwrens darting in and out of the disturbed leaf litter on the hunt for small insects. We will also be on the lookout to find one of their beautiful nests build in the vines.
Often the Catbird can be heard and seen on this track.
