The Gugigugi (Goo-ji-goo-ji) walk (37.5 kilometres) starts at the Henrietta gate pick-up point and travels through open forest and lush creek crossings. This walk crosses the Herbert River before reaching the Yamanie pick-up point.
On the first day of the Gugigugi Walk (19.6 kilometres) you will walk from the Henrietta gate pick-up point to the Stoney Creek campsite. Along the way you will pass Lemon Tree Gully, aptly named for the lemon tree that still bears fruit. Henrietta Creek is a great place to stop for a break before continuing on to the Stony Creek campsite On the second day (18.7 kilometres) you can enjoy a pleasant walk through open forest along the high banks of the Herbert River. Keep your eyes and ears open for resident wildlife. Listen for the noisy chatter of scaly-breasted lorikeets or the deep, gruff call of a wompoo fruit-dove. Garrawalt Creek is a great place to stop for lunch.
