You need to be an experienced off-track walker with the right hiking equipment and excellent navigational skills to walk to this remote camp site.

This secluded camp site is located in tall open eucalypt forest near a small rock-strewn creek that, after rain, forms a slender waterfall that plummets 100m to the valley below.

From the Border Track head up Mount Worendo (1,140m) before descending to a saddle and then climbing an unstable rocky ridge (good rock scrambling skills are required) to Mount Razorback (1,040m). This mountain is the main peak in the plateau and is named for its two razor-thin ridges. The plateau is edged by steep, rocky cliffs, and capped with thick rainforest.

This park is part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, famed for its ongoing geological processes, evolutionary history, and diversity (especially of rare, threatened and endemic species).
