April 3, 2021In January was full of mosquitos at the top. The rest of the year is great!
January 16, 2021January 15, 2021December 30, 2020December 30, 2020A few kms of up to the top. definitely walk it in a clockwise direction. Took us just under 3 hours.
December 29, 2020December 29, 2020Completed this with our 4 children 10,9,6 and 5. 3 and a half hours but they were troopers. Longer then we thought - definitely go clockwise at the fork.
December 10, 2020Great challenge.
December 7, 2020Fantastic hike, great views of the airport , always see wild life , bush turkeys-wallabies -even seen a few little wild bores . The blue arrow is 95% in the shade, under the tree tops, also blue arrow is not maintained to the likes of the yellow or red arrow . But overall a great afternoon hike.
November 8, 2020November 6, 2020October 11, 2020I think turning left going from the yellow/red arrow way is the easier way. It's nice enough, I saw a tree kangaroo, but the constant sound of aeroplanes grates after 3 straight hours.
July 30, 2020Did this with my 3 yr old on my back and a 11 yr old Son leading the way. It was harder then I anticipated. I assumed being at the top of the red arrow it would be a fairly easy walk around the top of the mountain . We managed it in 3 hours from the start of the red arrow and back. Views weren’t anything spectacular so wouldn’t bother with the lookout personally. Can see the same views from the top of the red arrow pretty much except for out towards Redlynch obviously but it was a nice rest point and signing the book in the little box was a fun way of marking our efforts. I’d maybe do it again solo to challenge myself.
March 5, 2020Nice trail. Difficult footing in some areas. View from top isn’t the best. Winds through a very low (minimalist) stream.
March 3, 2020bonne randonnée au départ du jardin botanique pour notre part prévoyez beaucoup d'eau dommage pour le bruits des avions omniprésent dû à l'aéroport de Cairns

December 2, 2019Beautiful hike. Saw some monitors and a pademelon. A bit rooty, well shaded, view is so so.
November 13, 2019November 12, 2019Loved this beautiful track. I was lucky to see some amazing wildlife, pademelons included. The hike took about two hours return.
October 14, 2019Really good, shady and technical track that takes in total about 2.5 hours (red arrow included)
October 9, 2019Really great hike that's very close to Cairns. I don't have a car so I walked to the trailhead. It was my first time in a tropical rainforest. The only reason I don't rate it a 5 is bc there's lots of noise pollution from the airport with planes continually landing or taking off.
September 30, 2019fantastic walk so close to city..took me just under 2 hrs return.
August 21, 2019July 21, 2019so much fun! i’ll have to come back when the water level is higher to see the streams
July 19, 2019Really nice walk good variety of rainforest, nice views at the top, thought the descent was a bit rough and a bit tough on the knee’s. Take water and wear appropriate footwear!
July 9, 2019A classic! Try completing this in the wet you get a totally different walk with all the water falls and rain but be careful as it does become slippery!
July 5, 2019Great trail for a peaceful hike in the woods.
