Some of the most inspiring and magnificent wilderness in the world is a not-to-be-missed experience. Much of the National Park is rugged, remote and virtually inaccessible but to the most experienced of walkers. However, from the comfort of your car and on short walks, a visitor can experience some of the most spectacular scenery in Australia. The Gordon River Road and Scotts Peak Road offer a snapshot experience of forest, scrub and moorland and periodically the forest peels back to give breathtaking views of rugged mountain ranges. On walks be prepared for changeable weather. Admission: National Parks charges apply.
