Mountaineer-Glowang Trail
Biripi & Worimi Country
This one-way walk in Barrington Tops National Park takes you close to 3 mountain tops (The Mountaneer, The Pimple and The Pinnacle). Starting from Middle Ridge Road walk all the way to Gloucester Tops Road, where you can have a picnic next to Gloucester River. Let us begin by acknowledging the Biripi & Worimi people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
