Mount Beerburrum

GPS Tracks

A paved but very steep walk leads 700 metres uphill through a small area of rainforest, then winds up through eucalyptus woodland to a fire tower. There is a 360 degree view of the Glass House Mountains and other parts of South East Queensland from the summit. On a clear day, Brisbane CBD is visible too. When descending the fire tower, go down backwards as you would with any ladder, several people have tried to go down forward and had very nasty accidents.

Getting there:

Follow M1 'Bruce Highway' north from Brisbane for 55km. Leave the highway onto Steve Irwin Way, signposted Beerwah and Glass House Mountains Tourist Drive. After 4.5km turn left into Beerburrum Road (signposted Mt Beerburrum Lookout) and turn right after 550m to the trailhead

The access road and car park to Mount Beerburrum is now closed. Access to the Mount Beerburrum summit walk and Yul-yan-man track is now via the Beerburrum trailhead, located in the township, adjacent to Beerburrum State School.

Glass House Mountains

Route/Trail notes:

From the trailhead car park, a zigzag track leads you up through the trees to the old car park. From hear you have a steep hike on the paved fire tower access road, that doesn't end until you are at the top. Some seats along the way to take a rest on. Great views from the first floor of the fire tower.

Return by the same route.

Permits/Costs:

None.

Other References/Comments:

Get to the track before lunchtime to enjoy your time at the top and take plenty of water.

A steep walk on a concrete track. Met a couple on the way up who were coming down wearing thongs; it was tough enough wearing shoes. Good views from the top.

We did this walk after some rain and fog in the air, which made the concrete trail surface wet and this is very steep. Very tricky on the way down, even with some fairly new hiking boots. Great 360 degree views from the summit, this is a terrific training walk. Do it a couple of times to double the work-out!
