The Amphitheatre, Jatbula Trail

Highlights

Step into an enchanted rainforest at The Amphitheatre along the Jatbula Trail. This magical U-shaped gorge is filled with moss-covered boulders, clear rock pools, and ancient Aboriginal rock art created by the Jawoyn and Dagoman people.

The Amphitheatre is a welcome break for hikers on the Jatbula Trail, offering a shady, peaceful spot to rest and explore. Fun fact: The monsoon rainforest here is a rare ecosystem, making it feel like a hidden world!

Adult Supervision Recommended

With steep steps leading into the gorge, it’s best to have an adult with you to ensure a safe experience.
