I did this walk with my wife. We went the direction that followed the road initially. Really nice walk, very bushy and walking amongst the trees/shade most of the way (except part along the road).

The soldiers settlers section of the track is quite narrow in some places (single file) and doesn't seem very well worn as other walks.

Some good viewers of Mt Tibrogargan and lookout along the way (200mt off the track?)... saw some climbers with ropes which was great.

Went early morning, great walk. Well sign posted so easy to navigate. Took 3.10hrs to complete.

Started this walk in the middle of the day as Sunday afternoon is the only spare time we have for walking. To say it was hot would be an understatement.

It was a good walk through. The track is now well signed and you essentially just follow the Soldier Settlers Walk until you hit the Trachyte Circuit. You no longer need to go to the day use area to start the Tibrogargan circuit but we took the opportunity for a short toilet break and rest in the shade.

Great views at various points and a good gradient with no significant steep parts.

Our Strava said 15km and took 3.5 hours of walking plus a 30 min break in the middle.

This was a really beautiful walk and I was finishing up in total post hike bliss...HOWEVER....in the last stretch on Old North Coast Road I was attacked by a dog when walking down the street. This dog was reported in a previous post in April 2018 so I was careful when walking along the road. I stopped when the dog came up to allow it to smell me, however, it lunged at me and bit me in the upper thigh unprovoked. Very scary!!! I have reported the attack to the council so hopefully something will be done about this dangerous dog. However, I would strongly recommend trying to avoid Old North Coast Road.

Easy hike to Mt. Beerburrum, Mt. Tibrogargan and Mt. Tibberoowuccum. This track has recently been updated and looks beautiful. Lots of wild life to see along this track.

One of my favourite walks, started at around 3:30pm waited in silence at Jack Farris look out as the bush around came alive with all types of birds, finches, bowerbirds, mistletoe birds - sensational colours. The candle stick bottelbrush and Geebungs where out and looking healthy. Nice time of year and day to do this walk.

The hike is awesome, it’s not hard very well signaled, at the end of the hike at the Old Coast Road there are a few dogs and one of them cross the fence, very intimidating and big but it didn’t attack, just watch out when walking in front of those houses.

A great hike. Lots of new signage on the trail. More easy/medium. Really good cafe across from the carpark where the hike starts/ends.

It is a magical walk - you can feel something here. The view from Jack Ferris Lookout is really amazing, where you get a good view of a few of the mountains. It can be quite steamy in summer, although you are shaded by bush. No wonder its a popular walk & busy trail.

Followed the way Megs (2016) did it an found it easier to follow the track that way. Bit muddy at times after the rain, yet a quite nice walk.

Lovely walk, pretty easy going, nice alternative views of Tibro :)

Was a really enjoyable easy walk. We did it in the opposite direction. Starting from the 2nd Trachyte carpark & following the fire trail to the Soldiers Settlement Trail. Highlight was the view of Mount Tibrogargan with the macadamia farm in the foreground.

Walked after overnight 50mm of rain. Not much water lying around but exposed rock was slippery in places. Good walk wandering around close to some of the Glass House Mountains.
