Itinerary description

As the name indicates, this gives pedestrians the
possibility to cut from the end of Smith Crescent through
to Mt. Spec Road, (main street of Paluma). This is
basically the continuation of Smith Crescent, just continue
from the end of the bitumen, past the frontage of the last
house and look for the red sign with the yellow arrow at
the edge of the rain forest that indicates the start of the
track. You will come out at the main road just past
the last house in the village. This is where Roy
Mackay, now well into his eighties, still lives. Roy and
his late wife Margaret spent most of their adult lives
working in and studying and photographing the natural
environment of Australia and New Guinea.
