Scenic Rim Trail

Australia's Newest 'Great Walk' Is a Multiday Hike Through the World's Largest Subtropical Rain Forest

"A five-day, 37-mile guided luxury hike through UNESCO-listed Gondwana Rainforests that blends low-impact, off-grid accommodation with high comfort; designers prioritized sustainability (down to testing showerheads) and guests hike in small groups of up to 12 with overnight bags shuttled ahead. The route showcases dramatic ridgeline views, forest recovery from the Black Summer fires, towering, mossy rainforest, historic timber-getter relics and a lookout where guides recount the story of Multuggerah and the Jagera resistance. The public can also access the physical trail independently, but the guided experience adds expert interpretation, gourmet meals, and logistical ease (suitable for walkers 15+ with reasonable fitness)." - Sarah Reid Sarah Reid Sarah Reid is a multi-award-winning Australian travel writer, editor, author, and sustainable travel expert with a passion for positive impact travel.
