A friend and i took the hike up to Bare Rock via Mt Cordeaux. Very similar in intensity to the adjacent Mt Mitchell i.e. very cruisy hike, barely know you're climbing a mountain. Was a little outlook NEAR the summit of Mt Cordeaux, was disappointed to find you can't actually reach the actual top short of scrambling up lose steep cliffs. Bare Rock was worth the extra walk, expansive views, really awe inspiring. If I had to chose I'd probably do the Mt Mitchell walk again over the Bare Rock hike just because the view at the top is that little bit better.

Great track, well signed. We saw plenty of bird life. It took 4 1/2 hours with a 9 and 7 yr old. There was a cold breeze so I’m glad we took jumpers. Absolutely beautiful views!

Spectacular views looking up the ridge line of Main Range National Park. If you're going to hike Mt. Cordeaux, you may as well spend the extra 90 mins (return) and visit Bald Rock.

Combined hike with Mt Mitchell and Mt Cordeaux as both hike start cross the road :) Beautiful rainforest and stunning view.

Hi, it's Harry the hiker and I'm 8 years old.I did this extension hike and Mount Corndeaux in 4.2 hours and this is my 7th hike. I spent less than an hour getting to the lookout and spent most of my time in the bare rock section. Spectacular views at the top of bare rock!

This was my first proper bush walk to get back on the wagon and it certainly reignited a long simmering passion.

It was a great walk to get back into the swing of things also as despite being fairly long, it was not especially difficult and is filled with SPECTACULAR views at a number of locations, particularly to the aptly named bare rock at the end which emerges from a clump of trees and allows a view on both sides of the range, worth the effort purely for this view.

I was able to complete it in dunlop volleys and a good portion of the walk is covered by beautiful rain forest so it is a good walk for anytime of the year. However, having done this in April it was a bit nippy to begin. You may want to start early as the car park is small and can get clogged up very quickly on weekends and public holidays etc. The suggested time is pretty accurate for anyone walking at a decent pace. You will want to allow approximately 5 hours to soak in the views etc.

In summary, long walk, good for your cardio, beautiful views and forest, highly recommend.

Bare Rock has a great view of the main ranges.

My fav walk of all so far! It rained the entire time and there was no view at all, but the bush is spectacular!

Easy to follow track up to the Mt Cordeaux lookout. Definitely worth the extra trek up over to Bare Rock. Gives fantastic views over Lake Moogerah and the surrounding country side.

Really enjoyed this walk. Steep in a couple of places but a good track to follow. Amazing views at the end to have your lunch. Follows on after Mt Cordeau

Did this walk on a Wednesday and had it all to ourselves, apart from around the carpark we didn't see another person for the full 13km walk and felt like the only ones on the planet for a few hours. The path leads off from the Rainforest Circuit Walk which is on the Brisbane side of the carpark. We did the full Mt Cordeaux, Bald Rock, and Morgan's. We stopped for about 15 minutes at Mt Cordeaux and had lunch for 30 minutes at Bald Rock and what a view it was. All up we took about 5 hours but stopped heaps to take over 50 photos. The photos on here can only tell part of the magnificence of the views, simply fantastic. This will be one I do again for sure.

Great added extra to the Mt Cordeaux walk. You're already up the mountain, so it's worth popping over to have a look at the view.

Certainly worth continuing on from Mt Cordeaux. Saw and heard Albert's Lyrebirds.

Did this as an extension to Mount Cordeaux. It was sunny when we left but Bare Rock was covered in fog/cloud when we arrived - oh well. Morgans walk seemed overgrown and not really worth the extra distance TBH.

Amazing views . Definitely worth the extra walk from Mount Cordeaux Look out. Walk not difficult and can be done by anyone who has reached Mount Cordeaux lookout.

After the ascent for Mt Cordeaux, walking across the saddle to this one was very manageable for a very rewarding view. The walk back down was so peaceful and beautiful. What a great area.

Well worth the extra few kms, stunning views of scenic rim.

pretty much uphill all the way to this one with a few obstructions thrown across track currently but was nice all the same

Still one of the most beautiful walks in SE QLD. Sighted a few lyrebirds and pademelons along the way. There are some more overgrown sections that have spiky native raspberries and the occasional nettle, high socks/pants recommended.
