Devils Break Loop
Moggill Conservation Park
Menu
Great short to medium length bush walk with not too many many people. There is a very steep section on the southern end of Devils Break which can be covered in shale so appropriate walking shoes are a must here.
Getting there
Take Moggill Rd and use the Chalcot Rd entrance to Moggill Conservation Park

Route/Trail notes
Great bush walk. No major viewing points but good well established and wide track. Mostly up/downhills with very little flat walking. Some challenging descents down loose gravel.
Starting from the Chalcot Road gate, this circuit walk is best followed in a clockwise direction to take advantage of the views to the South-West along Devils Break. There is a very steep section on the southern end of Devils Break that requires a head for heights and good scrambling skills.
This circuit offers an array of experiences; from wildflowers to cultural history. When the temperatures are right, wildflowers adorn the park. Standing tall are the flower stalks of the grass trees Xanthorrhoea and the sprays of yellow are the healthy parrot pea flowers Dillwynia sieberi.
It is not known who built the rock cairns along Devils Break but they are most likely cairns built by workers that were employed pre-World War II to clear lantana and maintain firebreaks.
Permits/Costs
