Mount Ngungun (pronounced 'noo noo')but generally known as "Gun Gun" is a very popular hike due to its relative ease and fantastic views. Traditional owners have asked that this mountain not be climbed.

A well defined graded track with some steep sections. The track begins in open forest with a fern understory. Part way up the mountain, there is a great view of Mt Tibrogargan as the track passes a small rock overhang. The summit provides spectacular close-up views of nearby Mt Tibrogargan, Mt Tibberoowuccum, Mt Coonowrin and Mt Beerwah.

Route/Trail notes:

A graded path starts from the sign post and information board. Follow the path, which switch backs up the hill till you reach a steep, loose, rocky gully, requiring big steps or light scramble/rock hop up. When you reach the top, it's a good place to have a rest, picnic and the view.

Return by retracing your steps.

It has been a couple of years since I have done this track and it was very busy today.

This is the 2nd time we have made this walk, this time with hubby in tow.
It is a walk we will do again and again.

Have done this walk a few times and I highly recommend it. It is short whilst still challenging enough with some steeper sections and scrambling bits. Great view at the top! Doable by most people.

It amazes me how many people are walking up this mountain on a Friday afternoon. We hung around till sunset and took some great photos of Mt Beerwah and Crook Neck.

Low to moderate walk #easynotmedium
40min up and back - definitely not 2 hour hike

Easy hike.. wouldn't say it's medium. Good views of the other glasshouse mountains.

Last walk of the day after Mt Tibrogargan and Mt Beerburrum. The graded track is an improvement on the old track! The views at the top make the effort worth it, even for the numbers on the top!

great walk, great views, kids handled it without a problem, can get crowded at the top if you go on a nice day

Teamsmith on 12 Jul, 2015

Great views.

Carol on 10 Jul, 2015

I made this walk with my two boys (aged 8 and 11) and loved it. The walk isn't hard, but makes you know you are working. The views are amazing and not only from the top.

Glam78 on 10 Jul, 2015

2.5km return in 45 mins. We stopped at the top for over an hour to enjoy the views and have a snack.
Really good training mountain.

Rienoh on 24 Apr, 2015

Sixth in line on my 7 summits in one day challenge. I was exhausted, dehydrated and spent when I got here, still I finished it! Nice views from up the top. Nice cave to explore here aswell :D
