Itinerary description

Only for people that like a challenging day.

Don't expect this to be an easy O'Reilly National Park walk.

You will find Gympie Gympie, Stinging Nettles and walls of Wait-A-While (mostly in the second half of the hike)

For the most part you have no formal trail to follow (pink ribbons in places help) so good navigation skills are essential.

Starts by going down Bullant Spur down to Blue Lagoon. Then follow the river for a short while before exiting to scramble over the Middle Ridge to Joonbeelba and Fountain Falls.
