Hinterland

The hinterland is a true hiker’s paradise and playground. From the marked trails of close by Pidgeon House Mountain, to the true wilderness trails within the Budawangs or Morton National Park, there is something for everyone. Nature in all its splendor has created the most incredible natural monoliths that lay bounty to the best in the world. Not too far away are the more challenging hikes to the Castle and into Monolith Valley. We are honoured and in awe of the natural world, which is all within a short drive of this local area. Lucky are we to be able share this awesome area with so many seeking to enrich their lives by spending time amongst the many natural splendours this area has to offer.

Best Day Hikes

Pidgeon House Mountain has to be one of the best known and most accessible hikes in the local region. Once you reach the top, the views are amazing. There is also the Mt Mogood hike, North West of Shallow Crossing, which is great for anyone not fit enough to climb Pidgeon House. Pack a picnic and allow a day to take in one, or all, including Ingold’s knob, Pidgeon House, Yadboro, Shallow Crossing and Mt Mogood. Pack your day pack, lunch, plenty of water and explore the hinterland. Yadboro has a great riverside picnic/BBQ area and camp ground – with a loo – Shallow Crossing is where the Clyde becomes tidal and some spring high tides make crossing briefly impassable. Life is love, and is meant to be lived. All in days adventure!

Be Sure to stop in at the Pidgeon House Tea Rooms on your return journey after your hike, to fuel yourself for your next adventure. Drive, explore, hike, bike or just sit and enjoy the vista. 

Always be prepared by taking a day pack with some essentials. Water, food, sunscreen, a hat, a map and an extra layer of clothing are a must.
