Rossman, A. Aitken, E. Ogilvie, E. Wicks, M. Walkie, B. Van de Wel, L. Derveneza **Dist.** \= 300 miles by car to Broken River ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/7d/ba/7dbaebaf-194e-4ef9-a4d9-2c073a689e9c/content/images/2025/10/Mt-Dalrymple--Eungella-National-Park.jpg) **Mt Dalrymple Comments** (1) Algo with (360°) tremendous view from summit - one of the best. large rocks area at top. (2) Graded forestry track to about 1600 ft. into just above top falls ( this is place where 'swiftlets' first recorded on mainland ) (3) Similar to Bartle Frere - in that there are leeches, wait-a-whiles, rainforest (one member collected numerous small ticks while cutting track through wait-a-whiles). (4) Water was carried from top falls. (5) Track is blazed but is not well used & care is needed - some reblazing proved helpful. The trip took 2 days & camp was made at the start of a relatively flat area at 3000' on way-up. Overgrown climbing is relatively easy. Trails are unpleasant. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/7d/ba/7dbaebaf-194e-4ef9-a4d9-2c073a689e9c/content/images/2025/10/Eungella-National-Park.jpg) Eungella Nal Park 1 1/2 days were spent in vicinity of Broken River camping area. A beautiful area reminiscent of Atherton Tablelands. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/7d/ba/7dbaebaf-194e-4ef9-a4d9-2c073a689e9c/content/images/2025/09/Brumby_22-0666-resized-1_jpg_Page_176.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/7d/ba/7dbaebaf-194e-4ef9-a4d9-2c073a689e9c/content/images/2025/09/Brumby_22-0666-resized-1_jpg_Page_177.jpg)
