D'Aguilar National Park - hike & hangout

Come enjoy the great outdoors and learn more about the geography of D'Aguilar National Park with the Young Geographers Group on a hike of the Somerset Trail, Mt Mee. 

The Somerset Trail is a 13km circuit that'll have you hiking through an array of landscapes including piccabeen palm rainforest, dry sclerophyll forest, scrubby heath and even a section of old hoop pine plantation. The trail also includes a stunning lookout location over the mountains and both Somerset and Wivenhoe Dam. For those who'd like a shorter self-guided walk option, the nearby Piccabeen Walk takes you on a relaxing 1km circuit of piccabeen palm grove just opposite The Gantry. 

For those interested in coming on the Somerset Trail hike, we'll meet at The Gantry picnic area at 9am. Those not keen on the hike but still interested in joining us afterwards for a picnic and hangout are welcome to meet at The Gantry picnic area around 1pm. We'll provide some blankets, picnic food and drinks to share.

There's plenty of native flowers in bloom still and wildlife around at the moment so it's sure to be a lovely day. See you there!
