Russells Needle and Starlight Track
Russells Needle is a narrow tower of sandstone that juts up above the Nattai Valley. It can be reached via a partly off-track circuit, which connects the Slott Way Track and Starlights Track. Spectacular views from Ahearn Lookout (a short detour) and the top of Russells Needle, and secluded camping by the Nattai River.
