About this walk

From the top of the Glut Picnic Area, look across the road. There you'll find the beginning of your trip through Paradise.

Paradise Walk will take you winding through messmate and manna gum forests. The elevation changes offer spectacular lookouts over the forest below. There are several boardwalks to take you across fern-tree lined gullies and the odd short steep hill and sections of steps.

Enjoy the calls of the local birdlife as you experience the great views of Mount Cole.
