Morelia Track

GPS Tracks

This track takes walkers from the Manorina car park to Mount Nebo lookout. Trek through wet eucalypt forest containing groves of cabbage tree palms, recognised by their huge, fan-shaped leaves. At Mount Nebo lookout, enjoy spectacular views over the Samford Valley to Moreton Bay. The track is well defined and gently-sloping. Keep your eyes peeled for a few of the old track markers with distances marked in miles.

Beautiful, simple walk. Plenty of shade. Quiet track. Beautiful secluded sun baking spots.

Track is open

Track currently closed: Went to do this walk yesterday, but its closed for upgrades and maintenance until 'July 2023' according to the sign.

Went up the road and did the Thylogale Track instead which was a nice concession.

Fairly cruisy, took me 1.5hrs including 15mins at the top. Gentle slope the whole way.

A very pleasant walk, easy grade, good condition. One tree across path which has been there quite a while, judging by the worn off bark where people are hopping over it. Views down to Samford (to right at the top) but otherwise surrounded by trees and no other views even from the slightly higher point (to left at the top).

Easy walk through rainforest with beautiful birdsong and changing terrain. Took approx 1.5 hours return to Mt Nebo lookout

Nice easy walk, limited but very good views from Mt Nebo lookout. Worthy walk

Well maintained track, easy walk, pretty area.
One of the loudest places I have ever been! Not sure if it was this day or time of year but the cicadas were deafening to the point of being unpleasant (especially for children).

Nice easy walk with nice views.

quite shady, not too steep, track is in good condition, nice lookout at the end of the walk. carpark can get quite full, i advise arriving before 9am.

Easy and relaxing walk, with great view on the top but limited space. The outlook view is a bit of hided by the trees though. People who is sick of the car might find the road to the mountain is a bit of hard with lots of zigzags.

From Ipswich, if you head out through Fernvale and head towards Somerset Dam, you can head up towards Mt Glorious, Mt Mee and Mt Nebo through some absolutely beautiful scenery 🌄

Today I hiked the Morelia Track at Mt Nebo.

This track will take you from the Manorina carpark to Mount Nebo lookout.

This track is gentle sloping with some steep sections and nice and easy to follow all the way 👟

You will pass through some beautiful lush rainforest that is filled with the sound of birdsong 🦜🌿

When you reach the lookout you will be greeted with views over the Samford Valley to Moreton Bay 🏞

If you team this hike with the Atrax Circuit, it is about 7km round trip.

It took me about 1.5 hours with stopping to take photo's along the way.
This is an easy little hike but will get your heart pumping

Enjoy 🙏💕

Easy walk away from crowds. The Cabbage tree palms are a sight to behold.
Wanderlust on 29 May, 2020

Good walk. Easy to find parking at 'Manorina'. Was a lovely walk through lush rainforest with lots of birdsong. Combined this walk with the Atrax circuit. View at the top was good but not as great as was expecting - there was only a small area where you could see out from and we had to wait due to a large family taking photos.Distance = 6.67km, time = 1:53.

Easy path to and from the lookout, an enjoyable short walk.

Pretty easy walk. Went a bit late so the route was very quiet and we had the view all to ourselves :)

One of my favourite walks. Beautiful rainforest pockets and an everchanging scenery. Easy walk and the lookout is worth the trek
