Trail Information

The trail is clear and easy but steep overall and strenuous, but worth it for the expansive views at the peak and the fascinating sulphur vent chimneys pouring out hot gas from the coal fire deep below. There's a lovely picnic shelter near the peak and plenty of wildlife along the way in warmer months. Very dry and arid, lots of water recommended. More information at:

Comments

I slept in my station wagon on a roadtrip south from Brisbane to Kosciusko, in the morning I walked to the summit to watch the chimney vents burn. It's a big effort but very well maintained and worth it, the views of the surrounding landscape are stunning and the phenomenon itself is breathtaking
