The Six-day Green Gully Track puts New South Wales up alongside Tasmania and New Zealand when it comes to hut-to-hut hikes, but that’s not all it does.

 

Honouring the legacy of Australia’s early graziers, preserving the irreplaceable relics of their lives, and making for an unforgettable adventure deep in the furrows of Oxley Wild Rivers National Park, this is one trek that’s well worth the effort,

Located between Walcha and Port Macquarie in northern New South Wales, Oxley Wild Rivers National Park lies within an ancient spine of volcanic peaks and water-carved valleys. For thousands of years the mountains were roamed by the Dangaddi people, then divvied up as pastureland from the 1840s onwards.

​

​

 

You can get a sense of the area’s mind-bending topography if you stop by some of the better-known attractions along Waterfall Way and Oxley Highway. Apsley Falls and Wollomombi Falls showcase the deep, crumbling ravines at their most extreme; where water plummets over the 100m gorge walls before disappearing under massive rock falls.

 

Impressive? Without a doubt, but these lookouts won’t exactly test your mettle.

​

​

 

The Green Gully Track, on the other hand, is a chance to leave your wheels behind and explore a seldom-seen circuit within the Apsley-Macleay gorge system on two feet. Over four lung-busting yet eye-opening days, the track cuts a 65km loop through what were once private mustering properties owned and tamed by the Youdale and O’Keefe families for the latter half of the 1900s.

​

​

 

The stock routes they blazed are characterised by old corrugated huts and timber holding pens spaced a day’s muster apart. For the purpose of the walk, which was established in 2011, these huts and management trails have been stitched together with sections of bush track, one near-vertical ridge tumble, and an epic ‘foot spa’ day that’ll see you wading thigh-deep up a creek.
