This adventure takes place on MUNUNJALI , WANGERRIBURRA, UGARAPUL, YUGAMBEH and JAGERA Country. We acknowledge their enduring connection with this Country, as they are the traditional custodians of this land, and we journey in respect of their Country.
Experience the best of the walks on the Scenic Rim Trail. This trip includes four night's accommodation in a mix of mountain top farm house, eco camps and cabins with expert service, panoramic scenery, comfort, and gourmet food and wine which brings new meaning to the concept of luxury walking experiences in Australia. The 4 days of walking includes climbing the Mistake Mountain Range and exploring the Gondwana Rainforest.
Set in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range just outside Brisbane, and surrounded by World Heritage listed National Parks, the Scenic Rim region is renowned for its exquisite natural beauty. The combination of rainforests, ancient volcanic plateaus, mountains, ridges, escarpments, forests as well as scenic wining and dining options has helped the Scenic Rim to quickly gain a reputation as one of Australia's most sought after gourmet walking experiences. With an abundance of unique Australian plants, native animals and distinctive vegetation types, this exciting trail embraces a region which is littered with the legend of the early pioneers who tried to make a living from the harsh but beautiful country. Your local guide will help interpret the land and its stories during each walk, many of which are on private Nature Refuge or National Park and can only be accessed via private land; making this trail one of the least frequented and most untouched walks in Australia. Each evening you'll stay at accommodations that offer a level of detailed service, panoramic scenery, comfort as well as gourmet food and wine which brings new meaning to the concept of luxury walking experiences in Australia.

Over the 4 nights we experience the luxury and comfort of numerous properties including the Mount Mistake farmhouse, Amphitheatre eco-camp, Timber Getters eco-camp and Hidden Peaks cabins. Each property is unique escape from the everyday into a world of luxury, personalised service and attention to detail. All rooms are configured with king single beds, which can be pushed together if you are travelling as a couple, except for Hidden Peaks cabins - there are 5 x cabins with a queen bed and a loft bed overhead and 2 x cabins with twin king single beds.
Mount Mistake farmhouse and Hidden Peaks cabins offer your own ensuite with each room, while at the two eco-camps you will have access to shared facilities with hot showers and flushing toilets located near the cabins.
If you are travelling on your own you will need to pay the single supplement. We are unable to pair you with another traveller of the same sex.
Every departure date advises whether the date is confirmed, and roughly how full it is. Here is what each one means.
If a date shows Guaranteed to go, it runs regardless of further bookings.
It means two travellers are enough to confirm the departure. It could be 2 more to add to the group, or the date only needs 2 people to run. Either way, if you book for two people, the date will become guaranteed to run.
You will know the status before you book. Every date on this page is labelled, and dates marked “Guaranteed to go” are running regardless of further bookings. Where a date has not reached its minimum we either offer a surcharge to operate for a smaller group size so it can still run, or we cancel it. We contact you directly either way.
If we cancel a departure due to not meeting minimum trip numbers, you receive a full refund of everything you have paid us less any non recoverable costs, where insurance may cover you. We cannot refund money committed elsewhere – additional non refundable deposits advised at the time of booking, flights, visas, vaccinations, gear - which is why it is worth waiting for “Guaranteed to go” before booking other arrangements around this trip date. Please read our Booking Terms and Conditions before you book.
Each trip closes online a set time before departure. Permits, internal flights and hut or campsite bookings all have to be arranged before we take payment. Call or enquire as it might still be possible to organise last minute places.
Cancellations happen and places do open up on closed dates, so it is worth being on our list. We can also tell you which nearby date on the same trip has space, which is usually the faster route.
Yes, as a private departure. We can run this trip on a date you choose, for your own group - family, friends, a club, or in many cases, just for the two of you. Tell us when you want to travel and who is coming, and we will build it around that.
There is very minimal phone reception throughout the region. All camps have WIFI in the main lodge, and you can generally make calls over WIFI on your phone. While on the trails, we ask all guests to switch their phone to flight mode that we aren’t interrupted by the odd call or text when we get a moment of service. This allows all guests to switch off and immerse themselves into nature as well as preserving your phone battery if you wish to take photos throughout the day.
It is a condition of booking a tour with us, and your responsibility to ensure that you are adequately insured for the full duration of the tour in respect of illness, injury, pre-existing medical conditions, death, loss of baggage and personal items and cancellation and curtailment. You must provide evidence to AWH that you have obtained personal travel insurance. You must ensure that your personal travel insurance covers all of the activities you expect to participate in.
You will need to make your own way to the meeting point on our private property in Clumber to meet your guides and group at 7:00am. It’s approximately 1.5 hours by car from Brisbane. On arrival you will have a meeting with your guides before setting off at 7:30am for a 1.5 hour drive to start the walk. Please have breakfast before you arrive.
Luggage porterage is included in the trip cost. We recommend a water-resistant duffel style bag with a maximum weight of 12kg (one bag per person).
Enjoy a leisurely morning with a cooked breakfast at 8:00am ahead of a 10:00am fond farewell from your guides and fellow walkers. The trip will end at Clumber.
For travel to the meeting point in Clumber (address provided upon booking), you can self-drive and park on our private property - note that this is not under cover. Alternatively, you can pre-book a private transfer from Brisbane - you will need to arrange this directly with a local transfer company. We suggest Limoso - phone 1300 546 676 or email [email protected]
