Aussie Bushwalking can keep track of your bushwalks.
Login/signup to tick this walk off.A short walk to a lookout on a sandstone bluff. Tree top views over Six Mile Creek and the conservation area.
Turn East onto Redbank Plains Rd from the Cunningham Hwy. Turn right onto School Rd and drive South until you reach the Paperbark Flats Picnic Area. The final part of the road is unsealed but in very good condition. Ignore the horse float parking area on your left and proceed to the Paperbark Flats Picnic Area carpark. Weekends can get quite busy so you may have to park in the horse float parking area, if so park in the centre so horse floats can park near the fence on the sides.
Follow the main walking track on the far side of the picnic area. At the first signpost turn right onto the Six Mile Creek Boardwalk track. Shortly after the broadwalk a sign post will indicate the start of the track.
Starting the track goes straight up to the top of a rocky outcrop. At the top there are two lookouts. The first is next to a signpost and has a railing (the top of the outcrop). The second is reached by following the path directly behind the signpost to the top of a second, higher rock. Neither climb is taxing (the're both about 10m long!), but the gradient knocks it into the "Medium" category.
Neither lookout provides magnificent views, but it at least gets you up to the tree tops for a different view of the forest.
