Whitsundays Great Walk — Attraction in Brandy Creek

Walked the entire 27km on 21/11/20. The walk seems to have been trimmed since others have done it so wasn't overgrown, but baiting in the area has left wild pig carcasses along the walk. There is ample parking at the beginning, but the The Airlie Beach seems to end in a street so lacks any dedicated parking spots. There are only a couple coastal glimpses on the walk, otherwise it is just through pleasant, but not very exciting forest.

Regarding its name change, it's neither a 'circuit' nor 'great'. Spiciness 3/10 - the abundance of goannas and spotting of a wild boar's behind were the only saving grace of this snoozefest Signage 12/10 - regular and accurate markers were a rare and unexpected delight. Kudos to whoever had to carry 27 signs. No kudos for the walk concluding in someone's driveway, resulting in a 4km waddle and dirt road taxi ride to get back to the van. Overall: 4/10 - Bar one uphill stretch, not too challenging, but it offered no picturesque coastal views as a result. The smell of baited dead pig was also an unwelcome surprise.

Should consider making a loop/ circuit option as we ended up having to get a taxi...

I’m a rainforest lover so this is the only tour can take me to the rainforest and my first time I riding Segway in the bush (not allowed in NSW 🥹), I had lots of fun with it. It took me 5 min to learn how to use it and already wanted to race well, not really max speed is 12km (boring!) 😁 at my age I can balancing on two wheels well and riding with one hand - thank you for Yoga 🧘‍♀️! I saw a young guy felt down badly when going downhill (watch out!).

It’s such a beautiful tropical forest, we stopped at the creek for small snack provided by Zak, he operates this tour almost 9 years, very lovely and friendly, total close to 10km back and forth on this track. His wife is a great baker so you will get a muffin and brownie in the snack box! 😋

The experience was really fun...

Started Airlie Beach end , straight up to the ridge line, very overcast day, great for walking not too good for the look out☁️😕, lovely walk in the clouds. Huge Bird nest ferns & elk horns , amazing fungi😍 At Bloodwood camp and lookout ☁️we met up with a few leaches 😟. A Little overgrown with weeds due to all the rain we’ve had ,but no trouble keeping to the track and a bit of a view at Mount Hayward 👍. Then the down hill run (nice change) to Repulse creek, was a great to hear the sound of creek flowing strongly , Hugh pig 🐷 snuffling around the table area , it didn’t seem interested in us, so we kept on moving , a few Creek Crossings , then a gentle climb and wide flat track to Forestry Road car park. Big day, and so...
