Adventurous travellers visiting Woko National Park won't want to go past this challenging alternative to Brush Turkey track, which it branches off from shortly after the trailhead. A steep 4km circuit, Cliff Face track threads through dry rainforest and pockets of subtropical rainforest, finishing up in dry sclerophyll woodlands. What makes it a really special day walk, however, is what you see along the way: climbing higher, you're afforded scenic views of the cliff face above; rocky outcroppings are extensions of a striking escarpment.
Be sure to bring your camera as cliffs like these provide precious habitat for the threatened peregrine falcon. You might even be lucky enough to glimpse a wedge-tailed eagle cycling across the sky. Birdwatching opportunities are superb.
Remember to take your binoculars if you want to birdwatch
You'll need to bring your own cooking water
