The hike to Goolman Lookout was pleasant and not at all difficult. The trail was wide and accessible, with some steep sections but no climbing or scrambling required.

I walked back via the ‘Rocky Knoll’ Lookout which, true to its name, was a rocky knoll which you can only access by climbing over a barbed-wire fence 😳

It was better to do this walk by going to Goolman Lookout first, wouldn't have wanted to do it the other way around. It is up all the way with some steep sections but we were glad we did it and the view from the top was lovely. We found the signage on the way back inadequate especially if there was an emergency and you weren't sure of your bearings eg. We came back via the wetlands (dry) and came to a sign that said 500m to Hardings Paddock, shortly afterwards there was a T intersection of tracks with no indication which way to go.

The track was nice and steep, it is a well formed multi-use trail. The bush scenery is nice.

I agree with the creator of the this walk, take the summit first using the Goolman lookout walk, then return via rocky knoll (on the return, instead of turning left to backtrack to the picnic area, continue straight and the track takes a large horseshoe going left passing the 'rocky knoll'... there is little signage for this)

The 'Goolman lookout' however is not much of a lookout. Tall trees encircle most of the summit. There is an opening to the west.

Because of the trees at at the summit, there is plenty of shade for a nice breezy break to take you back down.

A good challenging walk with its steep incline. Views to Amberley RAAF Base to the west and Brisbane city to the East.
