Getting There

PLEASE NOTE: Paluma and Hidden Valley were impacted by January and February's severe wet weather event. This has affected the usual routes of travel. Please ensure that you accommodate for this additional time in your travel plans.

Townsville to Hidden Valley

For those coming from Townsville City, it currently will take around 2.5 hours to travel to Hidden Valley. There is 25km of dirt road between Zig Zag Station and Hidden Valley, however, the road is in good condition/well compacted.

Ingham to Paluma

Due to the current closure of Mount Spec (the Paluma Range) road, those coming from the North will need to travel to Hidden Valley via Ingham and Mount Fox. It currently takes around 1 hour and 40 minutes to Hidden Valley from Ingham. These roads are not travelled as frequently as Mount Spec Road, so please drive with caution.

Paluma to Hidden Valley

For those still wanting to visit Paluma, Paluma is approximately 23km from Hidden Valley along a bitumen/dirt road. It is approximately a 30 minute drive each way.
