If you're lucky you might even spot a smaller-sized member of the kangaroo family called Pademelon who also live in Maiala.
This trail will take approximately 3 hours, providing ample time to learn about the area and capture that insta worthy pic!
You will then rest and recharge with a picnic lunch in the beautiful Maiala Day Use Area.
After lunch, then take a stroll on the western side of the mountain where you will visit a few scenic lookouts.
If you like to explore the rainforest with no crowds, this might just be the tour for you!
