Overview

About

Embark on an adventure to Mount Colosseum National Park, a landscape dominated by the towering granite peak of Mount Colosseum. With no designated tracks or facilities, this park is a haven for experienced bushwalkers seeking a remote, off-track experience amid the dry rainforest and open forests.

When to go
