Located in Kroombit Tops National Park is the 1945 crash site of Beautiful Betsy, the ill-fated WWII Liberator bomber. Its story is sign-posted on the short walk to the site from the Loop Road.

Only suitable in dry conditions and for 4WD, traversing the park via the Razorback Track and Loop Road will take you across rivers and deep ravines to fantastic heights where the sights and hikes are amid wild country. These tracks less-travelled are best left to experienced drivers with high clearance vehicles.

There are picturesque picnic spots by the creek and it’s an easy 100 metre walk to the lookout with fantastic views of the Boyne Valley.

The northern most town in the Banana Shire, Dululu is a junction point that divides the two southern arterials, the Burnett Highway (A3) to the east and the Leichhardt Highway (A5) to the west.

Both highways reveal untold adventures, and this rural village is the start of them all - a launching pad to the shire, and perfect place to stop, rest and make your touring plans.

At the rest area in Dululu, a plaque bearing the names of early settlers is mounted on a hexagonal shaped rock like those found at Mount Scoria near Thangool.
