Meeting Point
Meet your guides and fellow walkers at 8am at our private property. If you are self driving we recommend using the GPS coordinates: -28.032163, 152.468771.
The address is 7791 Cunningham Highway, Clumber and you will see a Scenic Rim Trail sign at the entrance to the property. Follow the unsealed road & directional signage to our meeting point. The road is not suitable for very low set vehicles.
Upon arrival we will collect your luggage & provide you with all you need for the day ahead. Please note bathroom facilities are available at the meeting point. We will depart for the trail (20 min drive) by 8.30am so please be conscious of arriving on time.
Ascending Mt Mathieson
Today’s hike takes you over the Great Dividing Range, enjoying beautiful views of the mountains as you traverse Mt Mathieson. The first half of the day includes a 480m ascent with some steep and rocky sections.
Spicers Gap Road
We relish our time in the rainforest taking it slow through this relatively small outcrop of Gondwana Rainforest. Once we emerge we join historic Spicers Gap Road that takes us all the way to Spicers Peak Nature Refuge following farm roads & the creek line into camp.

Relax & Unplug
After a well earned shower spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing in your glamping style tent or enjoy a soak in the outdoor hot tub, a beautiful spot for sunset.
Dinner will be served in the main lodge at 6pm. Enjoy some fireside chatting after dinner or head outside and marvel at the stars if the night is clear.

Morning and breakfast
If the weather is clear we highly recommend getting up early and watching the sunrise over the mountains. During the warmer months breakfast will be held earlier to make the most of the cool mornings.
A leisurely morning walk taking in the stunning gorge
After breakfast we head off to explore Miller Vale Creek. A beautiful gorge like walk with enveloping rock walls and still billabongs. This creek is home to some very elusive platypus but you never know your luck.

Morning tea
We have morning tea on trail before heading back to camp for lunch followed by an afternoon of relaxation.
An evening spent relaxing
Join your group for sunset drinks around the fire pit and watch the sun set on the mountains.
Dinner will be at 6.00pm with tales from the days adventures being shared around the table.

Today's trail
Walking out of camp we cross through farm fields before descending into Oakey Creek with morning sunlight glittering through the trees.
We follow the creek before starting our ascent up the ridge line, keeping our eyes and ears peeled for the endangered Glossy Black Cockatoo that frequents this area.
Using a combination of trails and farm roads to reach a remote section of the Main Range National Park. We put our fitness to the test as we climb higher along the ridge and over rocky outcrops before resting for lunch. Take in stunning views of the valley below before returning to Camp.
Return to camp
Dinner will be served at 6pm. This celebratory dinner is your chance to relish in the achievement of the past three days and cement the lasting friendships forged out of a shared experience.
