Another hike up - this time with my old man so up and back via the well defined track to the west - great views - hiking group of about 20 people at the top. Found 3 ticks - make sure you check yourself!

Good walk, took me about half the time it says. It was a really clear day so had great views right over to the coast.

Great walk. Arrived 8:30 on a sat morning to find carpark full (20ish cars) and I was thinking it would be packed. Didn’t see a single person and getting back carpark was empty - weird.

I went up to little Bally first as per a wikiloc map - I found there was a pretty easy to follow path up by crossing the creek after the grassy area - didn’t cross the grassy area.

The ridge between little Bally and Bally was the best part - fantastic views. The only hard part was after the ridge going up Bally it was mostly dry dusty dirt with little to hold on to which made it challenging.

The views from the top are 💯- it was a clear day and I could see the whole gold coast and south west to Springbrook, Cougal and Warning

Coming down I followed the longer well defined track to the west which joins up to a fire trail

Totally out of my comfort zone on the Razorback ridges, but I nailed it! Apart from that it's not too difficult. We had some rain so it was very slippery.
Thanks to our host for an awesome hike! :)

I like the panorama... I wonder who took that :-).
Will do this again. Good views and quiet!

NOTE: The grading I gave this hike takes into account all ages and levels of fitness. For a fit, experienced hiker this is a relatively easy walk, especially in the cooler months or early in the day.

Fantastic hike, has a bit of everything. I hope Bally never gets too popular, its such a hidden treasure. Be wary of snakes, friends have seen frisky browns out there, although my hiking buddy & I did this walk in Winter, so we didn't encounter them. Awesome views & lovely creek crossings in the valley.
