Dry eucalypt forests contrast with lush pockets of rainforest and dramatic views. Tall, ancient rose gums continue to survive. Scattered relics remain from gold mining in the 1800s.
Go for a scenic drive along Cockies Creek Road. Camp at Crediton Hall or Denham Range, or enjoy bush camping on grassy flats at The Diggings (obtain your permit before you visit). Observe safety signs and keep to roads and tracks to avoid mine shafts. Dogs are permitted on leash and in daytime only. Experienced walkers can grab a backpack and journey through the changing landscape of the 56 kilometre Mackay Highlands Great! Walk (three to five days, April to September is the best weather).
