All beach recreation such as surfing, fishing, and boating can be enjoyed at Bundjalung or just take a walk or enjoy a picnic. Tables, barbecues and toilets are provided for al fresco eaters at Gumma Garra, on the banks of the Evans River at Evans Head. Mt. Warning Mt Warning's 1157 metre high peak receives the first rays of sunlight on the Australian mainland each day. See the first light of day illuminate the beauty of the Caldera, the Tweed Valley and the coast. The lush, cool rainforest with its magnificent examples of buttressed trees, and vines, ferns, and palms, and the incredible variety of wildlife make the climb more than worthwhile.
Toilets are available only at the start of the walk.
Of course the mountain can be climbed at any time of day although you may get caught in darkness if leaving after 2pm. The full day walk is not too hard for people of average fitness. There are rest stops along the way and although the last steep section is a bit of a challenge, a chain has been placed there to assist walkers to attain the summit. At the southern rim of the 20 million year old Mt Warning Volcano, Nightcap National Park is one of the best developed subtropical rainforests in the state and home to several endangered birds and animals. From Mt Matheson an 8km walk links with the Historic Nightcap Track, signposted and graded through the rainforest mountain escarpments.
