About Great Walks of Queensland
Some of Queensland's best natural areas are yours to explore on the Great Walks of Queensland.
Glorious beaches, spectacular geological formations, crystal clear lagoons, ancient rainforests and rich indigenous culture are just some of the treasures you can discover.
Great Walks of Queensland is a $10 million Queensland Government initiative that is creating a series of world-class walking tracks through some of the state’s most beautiful natural areas, including three World Heritage Areas. The Great Walks of Queensland are:
- Fraser Island
- Gold Coast Hinterland
- Mackay Highlands
- Sunshine Coast Hinterland
- Wet Tropics
- Whitsunday
- More Great Walks
Each of the Great Walks of Queensland offers a range of experiences, from short, easy strolls to half- and full-day walks and extended overnight adventures. This mix ensures that people of all ages and abilities have the opportunity to explore, experience and enjoy Queensland’s parks and forests.
Six of the Great Walks of Queensland are open — Fraser Island, Gold Coast Hinterland, Mackay Highlands, Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Wet Tropics and Whitsunday.
Four more Great Walks are being planned, for completion in 2009 and 2010.
