I’d never heard of Mount Kaputar National Park before, but it popped up on the map while I was searching for things to do near the Warrumbungles. It’s not exactly a hotspot for tourists, which worked in our favor—five days of spring holiday hiking with barely a soul in sight. Bliss. The walking tracks here…
