Easy to parkNot crowdedGreat conditionsGreat views

Great walk but please download the map as it's too easy to lose sight of the track. This walk has everything from fire trail to swimming holes to a good bush walk that leads onto Spion Kop and amazing views of Brisbane Waters. It really is spectacular.

Not crowdedGreat views

The first 10-ish minutes of the walk are by far the hardest because it’s pretty steep and it’s easy to slip, but it’s over quick. Pretty views from the top there and then down to the firetrail. You then go down a little trail that can be a bit muddy and have water running down it after rain. This leads down to the pretty little stream. You’ll cross it to the other side and go between two rocks to go up to the rest of the trail. Trail is mostly easy to follow, especially since someone left some cute little rock towers along the path. It’s pretty easy the rest of the way to the lookout. When you get there, there are a few rock ledges you can see from, so have a little explore! Such a gorgeous view of Brisbane waters that really can’t be captured on your phone. Did this walk two days in a row because it’s that beautiful (and cause my phone died ). I’d suggest not leaving later than 2pm, at least in Winter. Trust me it’s not as fun in the dark.
