| Track Description |
 This very short boardwalk is a must for all visitors to gain a sense of wonder at the size of some remnant rainforest trees which escaped logging. Later, you can enjoy tea and scones at the Lake Barrine Teahouse and a boat tour on the lake. The teahouse also has displays about the formation of the crater lakes, wildlife corridors, and the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.
