Eco Tour at Main Range National Park. Mt Mathieson, Main Range: Enjoy an early breakfast, featuring homegrown and local produce before we farewell our accommodation and head out for our last walking adventure. Today we head to Mt Mathieson, Main Range to take in the views of Cunninghams Gap from the natural lookouts along this rough trail through lofty eucalypts and lush rainforest. From the Pioneer picnic area, the first part of the trail, to Mount Mathieson, is a gentle grade. From there the trail is more rugged and you’ll need to tackle quite steep, rocky and narrow sections. As you walk through the rainforest keep an eye out for the timber jinker (wagon), a relic from the early timber-cutting years. Learn about the early pioneering years from informative signs along the trail. This park is part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, famed for its ongoing geological processes, evolutionary history, and diversity (especially of rare, threatened and endemic species).
