Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk

Where: Chowan Creek.

“Experience the remarkable Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk, a 42km multi-day adventure through the Tweed Byron Hinterland on Bundjalung Nation. Weave through the ancient volcanic landscape and Gondwanan rainforest of Mount Jerusalem National Park, Whian Whian State Conservation Area and Nightcap National Park on this 3-night, 4-day walk. Marvel at the magnificent scenery of mountains, caldera peaks, lush rainforest and plunging waterfalls in this spectacular pocket of Northern NSW. Choose a self-guided package and camp along the way or join a guided tour for extra support. You can also tackle shorter sections of the track at your own pace. Gidjuum Gulganyi means ‘Old People’s Track’ in local Bundjalung language. The walk traverses the ancestral lands of the Widjabul Wia-bal and Minjungbal people from the Bundjalung Nation, who have lived in the area for many thousands of years.”

Rainforests, waterfalls and volcanic landscapes

“Gidjuum Gulganyi means ‘Old People’s Track’ in the language of the Aboriginal Peoples who have been walking these ridges and valleys for millennia. This remarkable 4-day walk links Mount Jerusalem and Nightcap national parks in the Tweed Byron Hinterland.

“Hike 42km along the rim of an ancient caldera through Gondwanan rainforest, ending at the impressive Minyon Falls. Shaped by millions of years of volcanic activity, we invite you to connect deeply with these ancient, storied landscapes.”
