Learn moreThe Carey Brook Walk Trail meanders along the Carey Brook through a forest of peppermint trees to Goblin Swamp - a swamp which earned its name from it knotted roots and bulbous trunks of the gnarled paperbark trees.
After losing their viewing deck to a fire in early 2022, the Goblins are making plans to rebuild it. Goblins are shy and sensitive creatures, please view Goblin Swamp from the path and don't venture into it.......they may become upset if disturbed.
The trail starts from Grasstree Hollow Campground and runs past Snotty Gobble Loop Campground. The campsites here are tucked in to the peppermint, jarrah and marri forest and are a great places to base yourself to explore the surrounding area. You can join the trail at Snotty Gobble Loop or from Goblins carpark - all located along Boat Landing Road.
The crystal clear Carey Brook provides great opportunities for birdwatching.Â
