Flinders Peak

Previously did this walk in summer maybe four years ago and it was a real struggle with the steeper exposed sections in the heat.
The path may have improved a little since then, the sign posting certainly has. But in late March at 28 degrees and more shade with a lower sun, this was absolutely lovely.

The picnic area is so green and lots of lovely sheoaks.
Sadly lots of lantana and weeds on the trail. But lots of butterflies around.
Sections follow the rocky ridge line which is fun. There are a bunch of great lookouts especially the last one before the top which has a 180 degree view with Barney and Cunninghams gap to the left and Brissie and Morton to the right (we had a clear day). The summit doesn’t have any shade and isn’t as nice. I recommend lunch at the last lookout.
The scrambly sections are bad in summer just due to steepness and exposure and there’s some gravel but not like some other popular hikes, pretty manageable for fit or moderately experienced hikers.
In total it took us 3.5 hours. 2 hours up 1.5 down. Really nice cooler weather walk.
