Immerse yourself in tropical rainforest as you wander along Dubuji (meaning ‘place of spirits’) boardwalk. Sense the change in habitats as you cross a spring-fed creek and meander through mangrove swamps. Pause to read signs about how different plants and animals survive, and if you're lucky, you may spot a cassowary.

Spot azure and little kingfishers darting into shallow pools from overhanging branches and watch orange-footed scrubfowl scratching on the forest floor. Walk down to Myall Beach during winter and look for passing humpback whales. Then relax with a picnic in the spacious grassy Dubuji day-use area.

This park is part of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, famed for its exceptional natural beauty, outstanding examples of the record of life, evolutionary history and remarkable diversity.
