Moss Garden

Capricorn Coast & the Southern Reef Islands


Less than 3km from the main trailhead, a 650m walk takes you across the river and up and down gentle inclines to the Moss Garden, a cool and shady place where water trickles down through porous rock and sustains a vertical moss garden. Rest in the shade here next to an icy pool.
