Getting there:

Take the Cooroy exit off the Bruce Highway onto Myall Street, turn right over the bridge into Elm Street. Just beyond the petrol station, turn right into Diamond Street and the right again into Miva Street, which then becomes Cooroy Mountain Road. The Festival site is on the right at the junction of Lukes Road.

Maps:

None found.

Route/Trail notes:

The track is steep and slippery most of the way, but well defined, with the grass cut back for the walk to the base of the hill. With so many on the mountain at the same time, the rubble on the track becomes very loose and extreme care needs to be taken, particularly on the way down.

Positively dangerous in wet weather. The SES are in attendance should anyone get into trouble.

Permits/Costs:

The annual Cooroy Mountain Spring Festival is held in August and organised by the Rotary Club of Cooroy. There is an entry fee ($10/adult - children under 12 free in 2022), with all the proceeds going to charity. In 2015, between 700-1000 entrants raised over $10,000.

No dogs please on the day of the Festival

Other References/Comments:

On the day of the festival, you can climb the well defined track between 6:30am and 1pm. Suggest that you climb at 7am, as this is a very busy event with as many as 2,000 climbers; young and old.
