After meeting near Boombana (location will be advised after booking) we will walk the Thylogale Track in D'Aguilar National Park through to Jolly's Lookout and return.
The walk is approx 8 kms return and rated easy, initially passing through drier country around the mountain then into beautiful rainforest as we near Jolly's.
Quite a lot of birds have been seen recently including whip bird, wompoo fruit dove, Australian king parrot, Australian log runner, yellow tailed black cockatoo, green catbird, regent bowerbird and large billed scrub wren and more.
For those wondering about the track name, it comes from the genus of the Pademelon, a small marsupial found locally. The name is a corruption of badimaliyan, from the Dharuk Aboriginal language of Port Jackson (Sydney region).
Pademelons, wallabies, and kangaroos are very alike in body structure, and the three names refer to the three different size groups. Besides their smaller size, pademelons can be distinguished from wallabies by their shorter, thicker, and sparsely haired tails... Keep an eye out on the track and you may see a few

My first time with AW!..absolutely awesome.Fabulous group of girls, so welcoming and friendly. Have already booked some more adventures. Our guide Sue was so knowledgeable and fun, and yummy morning tea.
I haven't been to Bribie Island in years and have never walked around the island. Such a treat and with a great group of women and of course our absolutely wonderful hosts, Caron & Kat.
Lovely location, great guides and fun friendly company. :)
