Getting there
Walkers loading vehicle
- The Mackay Highlands Great Walk starts in Eungella National Park, 80km west of Mackay (PDF, 121K)*.
- At the head of the valley, the road winds sharply and steeply up the Clarke Range—not recommended for caravans.
- When you reach Eungella township at the top of the range, follow the road sweeping left to get to Eungella National Park.
- Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service strongly recommends that you walk the Great Walk from north to south. This allows you to follow track markers and avoid extremely steep climbs in dry and exposed conditions.
