Did this on a cloudy day. It wasn't hard to climbed the rock, just a bit tricky and fear factor i think. Nice easy walk. The tracks are a bit difficult to follow which one is which.

Got a bit boring and monotonous, not much to see, no wildlife. Then turned towards the rocky outcrop and started to climb. Worth the trip for the views over the tree tops. Looking forward to travelling more trails.

Started the walk at 6.30am and finished at 7.50am, easy walk but lovely at that time of the morning. Walked this walk before I started work.

Surprisingly there was a fair amount of people on a Sunday afternoon. The trail out is a fairly boring fire break with not much to see. The trees were alive with all kinds of birds, and we had a wallaby hop across ahead of us, but since the trail was packed with screaming kids, it didn't stay long. The stairs up to White Rock are the hardest part, and most of the families with small children turned around at that point. Once at the top, the views of White Rock and the surrounding area were absolutely amazing. Feel free to climb the rocks just to the left at the top of the stairs for some awesome photos. Definitely worth the hike, but beware of loud obnoxious families as this is a fairly popular trail.

Fun to explore the rocky outcrop, lots of tracks darting in various directions. Surprisingly popular on weekends. The walk itself is quite boring but still worth a visit. Maybe do the Ridge Track though.
Also, the map online is different to the map on the info board at the start of the walk. Completely different trails are shown.

A boring flat dirt road track for the most part. Things pick up when you start to approach white rock, climbing the rock face is worthwhile to see a 360 degree view of surroundings.

Easy walk. Flat 98% of the way until you reach the stairs at the base of the rock. Take lots of water and maybe a snack for when you get to the rock as I always feel drained after a walk to White Rock.

Great views.

Nice easy shady track with great views at the easily accessible summit.
Toilets and shaded picnic tables at the car park area.
The only problem I had was finding the car park from where to start.
I traveled along Centenary highway from Logan and found out I should have turned into Redbank Plains and taken the SCHOOL ROAD which goes under the highway!! Spent 20 minutes backtracking.
However. This is a very nice easy walk and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
I will return for more walks.

The first thing we learnt is that you can't get to School Rd from the Centenary Hwy. you must go from tne Cunningham Hwy if travelling from Brisbane or Ipswich. The track is open though there were side tracks that were closed. We climbed the rock for a fantastic view of the area and returned via the ridge track. We found that track by going straight ahead instead of going backdown the stairs on the return journey. Following that track was more confusing. There is no signage and we had to make choices where the track divided. We somehow ended up on the Yaddunam track. I would recommend the ridge though even if you go up there and retrace your steps to return the way you came. All up we walked about 8 km.

Great walk. There is signage at the beginning of the track stating it is closed for revegetation. That didn't appear to stop anyone cause there was quiet a few people walking the track.

Walk is very flat along a fire trail till the last 100m up the hill.

They've either burnt off or had fires through recently so everything is quite black. The whole park is marked as closed due to bushfire risk atm.
