Bunya Mountains National Park Walk trails
There are detailed maps
of the nine designated walking trails in the Bunyas. Distances range from 500m to well over 20km. The trails are usually fairly wide and well maintained.
Occasionally you may come across areas of fallen trees such as those pictured above or overgrowth if the
rangers haven't been able to clear. Keep an eye out for snakes if you go over fallen trees. Step on the top of the log first before going over it so you dont startle any snakes on the other side.
Mobile phone coverage is sporadic at best in this area.
So tread carefully, you may not always be able to call for help.
Snakes such as red bellied blacks are active during the warmer months as are ticks.
The Department of Health has
good information on tick protection.
If you see a snake, leave it alone, don't panic and take these simple steps to avoid a snake bite.
It is very rare to get attacked by a snake but if you are unlucky here is a demonstration on what to do if bitten by a snake.
The clip was made in 2012 but is still relevant.
Trails are closed periodically its worth checking on accessibly by reviewing Park Alerts at the top of the
Bunya National Park website.
Dandabah is a great starting point for the many of the walks and it's also a good place to get a bite to eat and go to the loo.
The Bunya National Park
site has everything you would need to know about
these walks, maps and accommodation.
