SDW2B (see Walk Grades page) Prospective Members Welcome Limit 15 Bring a sense of adventure, morning tea/lunch,2 litres water, walking poles Dularcha National Park is located in the town of Mooloolah. The walk will commence at the trail head which leads us after a short walk to the historic railway tunnel, built in 1891, it is one of only two tunnels built along the old North Coast Line between Brisbane and Gympie. The curved tunnel is 93.5m long and provides a dark and suitably protected site for seasonal roosting by a variety of small bats. In the park you will find Eucalypt forests and riparian areas with flooded gums, cabbage tree palms and rainforest plants all provide habitats for a diversity of wildlife. Birdwatchers will enjoy the diversity of birds along the trail in the early morning. The walk traverses a wide forest trail meandering around the boundary of the park. Some steep up and down hill sections are to be negotiated, walking poles may assist. Morning tea is a reward after the first steep uphill ! The walk is about 10 kilometres with a few hundred metres vertical gain/loss. We should finish the walk around 12 ready for lunch.
