Itinerary
![]() | Approx. 13 km, 6.5 hours walking (Easy to Moderate Grade). If you self-drive, please make your way to the the group meeting point in Clumber, to meet the rest of the group and your guides at 8:30am. If you have pre-booked a transfer from Spicers Balfour Hotel, Brisbane, please be at the hotel no later than 7:00am for a sharp departure (Additional cost apply). Upon arrival at the group meeting point, you will be given a pre-walk brief, then kit you out with your hiking equipment (daypack, lunch, water bottle, hiking poles, hat and mug) while you enjoy a tasty morning tea. A gently winding 5km ascent brings you to the twin peaks of Mt Mitchell, an extinct volcano named in 1828 by botanist and explorer Allan Cunningham in honour of the Surveyor- General Thomas Mitchell. The walk takes in sheer cliff faces and breathtaking views over the Scenic Rim and Fassifern Valley and offers the opportunity to discover local wildlife and plant species along the way. Keeping your eyes peeled for wallabies and the koala, you will cross open woodland forest to Spicers Canopy around 4pm. A warm welcome from our Camp Hose and onsite Chef await, along with freshly made afternoon tea and cold beverages. Unwind, relax and watch the sunset over the Great Dividing Range, take a dip in the hot tub before meeting back in the main lodge for your chef prepared and local sourced evening meal. The Gondwanan rainforest of Main Range National Park is World Heritage Listed and borders the private, Nature Refuge. Few places on earth contain such a diversity of plant and animal life, which fossil records show us have remained relatively unchanged across the ages. For these reasons, and many more, this part of the world is vigorously protected so that future generations will be able to enjoy and explore this pristine piece of nature. After dinner, the journey continues around the outdoor fire as you gaze up to the night sky and discover the constellations, learning the ways the early settlers used the stars to navigate their way through this region. The generous blanket of stars you'll view tonight is one of our favourite features of the Scenic Rim. |
![]() | Approx. 15 km, 8 hours walking (Moderate to Hard Grade). After breakfast, you will follow in the footsteps of the early settlers and see a part of Queensland that even today only a handful of people have been lucky enough to experience. The trail leads through the dense rainforest of Spicers Peak, complete with giant ferns and awe-inspiring 1,000-year-old hoop pines, before opening out to reveal panoramic views of Spicers Gap and the Great Dividing Range. There is one final push before lunch, using a support rope to climb up to where the trail leads from a drier grass tree plateau, through to the dense rainforest of Spicers Peak, complete with giant ferns, grass trees and awe-inspiring three hundred-year-old hoop pines. Keep your eyes peeled for the endangered Glossy Black Cockatoo, wedge tail eagles and wallabies along the way. After a lovely relaxed walk through the cool temperate forest, take a seat at the designated stop and enjoy a well-deserved lunch before pushing on for the last 2 hours of the hike. A stretch of downhill leads you across a saddle and onto the final ascent up Cedar Mountain where you will find the luxurious Spicers Peak Lodge. Cheers to finishing the walk, before you are all transferred back down to Spicers Canopy to enjoy your final night. The celebratory dinner is your chance to relish in the achievement of the last three days and cement the lasting friendships forged out of a shared experience. |

In the event that we are forced to change your arrangements, substitute arrangements of a similar standard will be provided.

You need to advise Onlyluxe travel and the tour operator on any pre-existing medical condition, mobility impairment and/or disability that might reasonably be expected to increase the risk of your requiring medical attention, or that might affect the normal conduct of a trip and the enjoyment of other trip members. Onlyluxe Travel and the tour operator may require an assessment of your medical condition from a qualified medical practitioner.

Cancellation by The Tour Operator
The walks take place in very special wilderness settings. The tour operator is at the mercy of nature in all her beauty and all her fury. The tour operator will under no circumstance knowingly place at risk the health and well-being of our guests and guides. In the case of natural threats, acts of God and the like (e.g. bushfires, impassable snow, etc) the tour operator may need to cancel a walk with very little notice. In some cases, this can occur after the walk has commenced. The tour operator reserves the right to cancel any walk up to 60 days prior to departure if a minimum of 4 walkers are unable to meet for a tour. If the tour operator needs to cancel for any reason, the cost of the walk or any other costs associated with travel to the designated pick up point, overnight accommodation, meals, etc will not be covered by the Onlyluxe Travel and therefore we strongly recommend travel insurance be taken out prior to travel.
Force Majeure
'Force Majeure' means (without restriction) any event which Onlyluxe Travel or its third party providers could not, even with due care, foresee or avoid. Force Majeure covers events such as, but not limited to, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events beyond our control. In the case of Force Majeure Onlyluxe Travel will not accept liability, and reserves the right to change and cancel trips.
Evacuations
In rare circumstances, due to injury or unforeseen illness, the tour operator may need to evacuate you from a remote part of the walk. Helicopter evacuations are expensive and in most cases will be at a cost to the customer.
For Australian residents, under the Australian Government Medicare Act, it is prohibited for any domestic travel insurance product to provide any financial reimbursement with regard to ambulance or air ambulance services. We therefore strongly advise our customers to take specific ambulance cover through their health insurance provider. Evacuation cost will not be covered by the Onlyluxe Travel and therefore it is also strongly recommended that our customers take out travel insurance to cover (amongst other things) the costs associated with evacuation.
Travel Insurance
In view of the heavy cancellation penalties applied to cancelled reservations in certain circumstances, we strongly recommends suitable travel insurance be purchased at the time the holding deposit is paid. We recommend insurance cover that covers any loss which may be suffered due to cancellation. We also strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance against loss of baggage and medical expenses.
