Adventure seekers and nature lovers are heading to the Tweed Byron Hinterland for one of the region’s most exciting new attractions: the Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk. Translating to "Old People's Track" in the Widjabul Wia-bal language, this 42-kilometre multi-day trail winds through Gondwanan rainforests, ancient volcanic ridges, and the culturally rich landscapes of Mount Jerusalem and Nightcap National Parks.
Whether you’re embarking on a self-guided adventure or opting for a fully hosted tour with local guides, this immersive hike offers a rare opportunity to connect deeply with Country. The trail, located within the Whian Whian State Conservation Area, showcases the biodiversity and deep heritage of the region. With panoramic lookouts, tranquil forest floors, and stories embedded in every footstep, this is a walk that goes far beyond the physical.
