Golden Mountain Walking Track

Located in the stunning Strathbogie region, the Golden Mountain Walking Track is a must-see for hikers and nature lovers.

This leisurely walking track leads you towards the peak of Golden Mountain, giving you the opportunity to experience the unique biodiversity of the area.

The walk takes you along old logging tracks where you'll pass large, moss-covered granite boulders, towering Eucalypts such as the Peppermint Gum and the beautiful Ti-tree thickets. The track offers a variety of hills and slopes, making it suitable for hikers of all levels of fitness. You'll also have a chance to spot local wildlife, including native birds and small mammals.

At the summit, you'll be rewarded with magnificent panoramic views to both the east and west. Golden Mountain provides a perfect vantage point to admire the surrounding landscape, and appreciate the natural beauty of the Strathbogie region.

The best time to walk the Golden Mountain Walking Track is between late autumn and early spring, when the weather is mild and the landscape is lush and green. During summer, temperatures can get high, and the vegetation can become dry and hazardous. Winter and early spring offer a chance to see the local flora and fauna in full bloom.
