Tweed Byron Hinterland Trails: final update April 2025

With the opening of the Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk, we have completed the Tweed Byron Hinterland Trails project.

 
Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge the Widjabul Wia-bal and Minjungbal people of the Bundjalung nation, the traditional owners and custodians of the ancient lands through which this walk passes. We acknowledge their continued connection to their land, waters, and culture.

We pay our respects to their Elders past and present, and to their cultures, traditions and spiritual beliefs.

Opening of the Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk

Construction of the Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk is now complete and ready for you to explore. This remarkable 4-day, 3-night walk links Mount Jerusalem National Park, Whian Whian State Conservation Area and Nightcap National Park in the Tweed Byron Hinterland. 

'Gidjuum Gulganyi' means ‘Old People’s Track’ in the language of the Widabul-Wiabal and Minjungbal people who have been walking these ridges and valleys for millennia. 

You can find everything you need to know about the walk on the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk webpage, including:

  • highlights and photos
  • maps
  • self-guided or guided tour options
  • what you need to book in advance
  • safety information
  • detailed track notes for each day.

Tweed Byron Hinterland Trails project completion

The opening of the Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk marks the completion of the Tweed Byron Hinterland Trails project, as the National Parks and Wildlife Service have finished all planned works. It also marks the end of our ‘taster’ experience of single overnight remote campground bookings mentioned in the September 2024 update.

Community and stakeholder engagement

Thank you to everyone who engaged with this project and registered their interest to receive regular project updates. We have sent this final project update to all registered stakeholders.
