Nice easy hike. Terrible shame the social media influencer wanna be’s ignore the numerous signs warning climbing on White Rock is Prohibited.
This site is cultural heritage listed so visitors need to show respect and abide by the signs

Did this walk with my 5yo son. Very easy with only very minor inclines and descents on a well maintained track. Very green this time of year and the views arent bad.

A lovely view from the top, but it was quite busy. Saw a nice goanna crossing the track!

Love this walk. The stairs are wide and a little rocky walk at the top but a really nice hike. Great for beginners.
Add 1.5km to the hike by walking around the rock and back down. Little cave and rocky path which is fun.

Easy walk for the whole family. Really pretty and you get some good views along the track. Had kids with us and we didn't climb the White Rock. Will be back to do the WRRT another time.

We walked up the main trail and then back via the ridge track. It is a relatively easy walk, particularly this trail as its flat and wide. Beautiful bush and White Rock itself is a very special place.

Completed the walk in 90 minutes and enjoyed the peace and quiet as there were very few people out on the walk for a change.

Did the much nicer ridge track to white rock, and took this one back. So busy, I passed hundreds of people on a Sunday morning around 10am.

Interesting walk. Busy track

Did it with my two kids. They loved it so much . But I don’t recommend it to do it in summer.

Plenty of other viewpoints and lookouts overlooking the conservation park that's not White Rock itself! Please respect the Ugarapul people's wishes to not climb the mountain, the same way you wouldn't climb up a church. As an alternative, up the stairs turn left instead of turning right to White Rock, you'll find yourself at the end of the Ridge Hike Trail. Follow the orange triangles up the rock face through a small crevice, and you'll have some equally great views.

Third time we've done this walk. This time we tried for sunset at the top. What an amazing view at that spectacular time of day.
Will definitely be back AGAIN.
Easy to moderate walk

White Rock is located in the city of Ipswich out Springfield way, about 30km south-west of Brisbane.

I took the ridge track to the left which is surprisingly graded a class 5.

It took me from the carpark, around 45 minutes to reach the top and about 30 minutes back.
6.1km round trip.

It did get the heart pumping in places with views when you reach the top over looking Springfield and right the way to town.

On the way back I decided to do a short fast burst up Little White Rock which is only 250m but pretty much straight up.

This hike is not too badly signed but please be mindful that it is our Australian Bush and just gets hotter and hotter throughout the day. I would recommend going early of a morning or late evening. This track is very dry and is covered in bulldust which can be very slippery in places. So take care.
I personally would not grade it a class 5 but I believe an average fitness level would be needed.

nice easy walk for the family. Our 10 & 8 year old sons managed it and I had our 1 year old on the back. Good for beginners like us.

2.5/5 stars, 1.5hrs return at relaxed pace. The bush walk itself is a bit mundane, nothing but dry bush all around. Signage directs you along the White Rock Trail (WRT). The White Rock itself is pretty interesting, cool patterns and gradient and a nice little climb to get to the top, with more opportunity for climbing around. View to the west is actually obstructed a little by another hill, and the relatively low elevation means that you mostly just see bush all around. I've done this walk 1 time.

Nice easy walk. We circled around the white rock and continued along ridge to meet back up with multipurpose track further along. Added about 2km. See the map before going up the stairs for details. Completed this in 1.5hrs, 9.5km. Be respectful and avoid climbing the white rock. There are other great views further along the ridge also, a seperate rocky ridge that offers good views.

Great walk with some stunning views at the end. The rock itself is bigger then I imagined and the sandstone colours and shapes are beautiful. Walk would not be suitable for very young kids as is wuite long. Heard lots of birds along the way and saw a Eastern Whipbird and a couple of other birds. The path was not that busy considering how beautiful it is. Feel like you are in the middle of nowhere.

Great to see so many families doing this very manageable walk today on ANZAC Day public holiday!
Disgusted to see so many people with dogs, though, when signs say they are not permitted.
Very interesting rock formation to see which many people were climbing, also against park rules.
Am I too much of a goody-goody??

We did the multi use trail to white rock and came back via the Ridge track, was approx 8km on gps. First part very easy along a sandy track until you get closer to white rock where the trail narrows but still well defined. White rock itself is pretty cool and worth having a look. The first section of the Ridge track on the way back involved scrambling up some boulders but the rest of the track wasn't difficult and well defined. Signage is good. When we went the area was a bit stinky (sewerage maybe?) which made the walk not as enjoyable as it would have been otherwise.
