Tick Walk

Getting there

From Brisbane follow the Cunningham Highway towards Cunningham's Gap. At the top of the gap turn right into a car park adjoining the highway. Follow the Mt. Cordeaux track which leaves from the edge of the car park.

Maps

The track is clearly marked so no map is required, however, the Sunmap Cunninghams Gap sheet covers the area.

Route/Trail notes

The Bare Rock track turns off just before the Mt. Cordeaux lookout. Follow the track as it passes through a saddle and into the rainforest. Morgan's Walk leaves the main track 680m short of Bare Rock and visits a beautiful grove of montane heath.

Great Afternoon walk, taking in Mt Cordeaux an then out to Bare Rock...had lunch and lazed in the sun,enjoying the views... walk through the heath to the other side and take in the views of NSW to the south...decided nt to take Morgans Walk as the views are mainly Obscured by trees

Budget some extra driving time and be ready not to find a park after the major storm/flood damage.

The walk was great, although very cloudy until the way back and lots of snakes and leeches around. I agree with the others that you don't need to do the Morgan's Walk.

Didn't do the 700m Morgans walk, only ends in a tree grove of some sort. Good views from Bare Rock.

There had be some track work done. And near the old gold mine the hand railing has been extended.

At Bare Rock we found the survey marker. A great walk !

Started early to get everything done today. We walked up to Mt Cordeaux and had a meal break and met so many wonderful and interesting people from the single walker to a group of Elderly walkers and couples. Having chats along the way and sharing information about backpacks and equipment and just admiring the wonderful views together.

Track to Mt Cordeaux has been cleaned up. from Cordeaux to Morgans Lookout is good most of the lookout has trees blocking the views but there are 2 good spots where you can get some good pictures.

Morgans to Bare Rock seem longer than what they are posted but we did the walk no problems. Also found the survey marker on Bare Rock.

All I have to say from there is "WOW"

Another day....Another walk....

Great views although there was a couple really wild at Bare Rock! well worth the walk. Best done in morning during summer.

Fantastic views make this walk worth the effort. Stand in wonder whilst looking at the Gold Mine shaft, just how determined were these miners. One of the few walks almost competely in the shade.
Add the Palm Gully circuit as a warm down.
