This activity is in Paluma Range National Park, Mt Spec Region, based on Crystal and Dolby Creeks. Starts and finishes at Paluma Dam.

A full-day bushwalk comprising rough bush tracks, then off-track jungle bashing and rockhopping / scrambling.

In some areas there will be tangled vines and wait-a-while to enjoy.
