Starting at the car park, the trail heads through a series of massive boulders before arriving at the impressive honeycomb wall formed by wind and water erosion from an ephemeral waterfall. While only a short walk, this one well worth checking out

Mt Augustus Summit and Gully Trails (Mt Augustus National Park)


An outstanding Outback mountain walk, the Summit and Gully Trails take walkers to the summit of Mt Augustus - a towering peak that is twice the size of Uluru. Featuring a mix of gentle and steep gradients, the Summit Trail leads to 360° views of the surrounding landscape. With the scramble-heavy Gully Trail filled with waterholes as an alternate, this is an outstanding must-do hike in spite of the potentially deadly heat
