Hypipamee National Park, also famous for its dramatic
volcanic explosion crater with sheer granite walls that plunge
140m.

might spot a tree-kangaroo climbing swiftly through the
canopy. After your hike, cool your heels in the trackside pools
beneath pretty, fern-fringed waterfalls.When you go: Mount Hypipamee National Park is
located 25km south of Atherton on the Kennedy Highway.
