Nice walk, best done early morning. Recommended to take insect repellent as march flies are notorious and do sting. I had terrible reactions and was covered in inflamed, itchy bites for weeks. Other than that I really enjoyed the walk.

A lovely park, right in town. Some nice walking trails and a lovely open picnic space too. The birds and pademelons are lovely.

If you love birdwatching, especially wetland water birds, you will love Hastie’s Swamp National Park. Even if you notice the signs, and take an unplanned detour like I did, you will love it, or find it interesting. There is a huge variety of birds that come here and you will see a few of these at any given time. There is an elevated bird watching tower which you enter after climbing some stairs, and from here you get a great view of the wetland swamp where the water birds congregate as well as interpretive signage describing the birds of the area in detail. Hastie’s Swamp is just a few kms outside of Atherton, and well worth a visit.

I’d done Mount Baldy up and back on its own previously & this time tackled the longer 8.5km loop starting at Yabi car park & heading up up to Yabi Mountain and along the ridge to Mount Baldy & back down. It took just under 3 hours including water breaks & stops at each summit. To be honest it’s better than doing Baldy on it’s own as you enjoy a walk through the rainforest from Yabi to Baldy and the walk is more gradual & less strenuous in terms of uphill. You also get to enjoy some great views from both peaks and feel like you’ve really accomplished something. The diversity of landscape is impressive with open bush land, dry savannah & rainforest all on one walk. There is also an abundance of bird life - I saw an amazing black finch like bird with a blood red breast near Yabi Mountain which I’ve never seen anywhere else before. Hint: take lots of water and watch out for the regular signs which direct you where to go. For the Yabi/Baldy circuit make sure to start from the first car park just off Rifle Range Rd (this is the Yabi car park, the Baldy car park is a few hundred metres down the road).

We have a background in tourism and usually find the best place to find local information is at the Visitor Information Centre. In this case, we found a gem. Nicole was the staff member on duty and we found her to be not only a wealth of great information, but so passionate about all that the area had to offer. She is a real asset to tourism in the area, so thank you Nicole for your time, knowledge, passion and that you took as much time with us as was needed to ensure we got the most out of our visit to the area. All your tips were well appreciated.

They say the visit will be surprising. I love the fact that most of the stock is local and the range of foodstuffs for vegans, GF and others was just amazing. I bought a heap of things as Xmas presents.

We love strawberries, although there was not enough strawberries to pick your own yet we had a great time. We tried the strawberry ice cream and it was delicious.We bough some fresh strawberries and some strawberry jam. Both were very tasty wanted to go back and get some more
