Sponsored Event Experience
Oxfam Trailwalker and Queensland Parks & Wildlife Service staff welcome you to D'Aguilar National Park and wish you all the best with your training.
While conquering this demanding event, discover the rich and varied environments in Brisbane's backyard! Rugged escarpments covered in eucalypt woodlands and scribbly gum forests are a striking contrast to the lush, rainforest-filled gullies.
By day, forest locals such as bell miner birds and yellow-tailed black-cockatoos watch on as you hike along the trails. At night, fall asleep to frogs calling from mountain streams, while high in the forest yellow-bellied gliders and short-eared possums busily search for their next meal.
Oxfam Trailwalker is tough, but we hope your time spent in D'Aguilar National Park is not only physically challenging, but allows you to reconnect with nature.
Event Background

It has since grown into one of the world's ultimate team events with almost 200,000 people taking part and $140 million raised in support of Oxfam's work. Oxfam Trailwalker takes place in India, New Zealand, Spain, Japan, France, UK, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Hong Kong and Australia.
