Description

Three walks start from here: Langgerrbi (Nigli Gap) Walk Distance: 6 km return Time: allow 2 hours Grade: 2 - easy This walk heads west across the blacksoil floodplain before entering Langgerrbi (Nigli Gap) and following the base of the Jarnem escarpment. Natural archways, gorges, balancing rocks and caves were all formed by the effects of wind and water erosion on the soft pockets of sandstone. Jarnem Loop Walk Distance: 6.5 km loop Time: allow 3.5 hours Grade: 4 - moderate to difficult This walk links the Lookout and Langgerrbi (Nigli Gap) walks and should be completed in an anti- clockwise direction. Continuing on from the Lookout turnoff, the track wanders down the hill across the eucalypt woodland heading towards the Jarnem escarpment. Smaller but similar to the Bungle Bungles in Western Australia, the soft sedimentary sandstone provided food, water and shelter for the local Miriwoong people. Several aboriginal paintings are visible at Langgerrbi (Nigli Gap). Jarnem Lookout Walk Distance: 4.6 km return Time: allow 2.5 hours Grade: 4 - moderate to difficult At the Langgerrbi (Nigli Gap) intersection turn right and follow the trail as it winds its way along the base of the range. A steep climb following the natural creekline leads to a saddle where track markers direct you to the lookout and breathtaking views of the Keep River floodplain, Jarnem escarpment and Miriwoong dreaming trail.
