Enjoyable walk with some great views of Brisbane. Tricky to find the entrance to the walk but once found very enjoyable.

Not difficult at all, as listed...maybe medium.
Most accurate description is below-see comments of "MDWL on 8 Apr, 2016"
Well worth the trip.

Nice walk, not too hard and a little bit of scrambling. Great view from the top of the rock!

Pretty easy walk, well signed and the rock is great!

Would always choose to walk this route other than the fire trail way, every time. Route is pretty straight-forward and is really a medium, not a hard difficulty as listed.

From car park, follow main fire trail/walking trail past lookouts and board walks. After about 800m trail forks. Follow it left and trail forks again after 20m, with signs to White Rock on right. Ignore signed trail and continue straight ahead for 50m. There is a smaller trail with a sign on right, leading up onto the ridge. The trail is well worn and, except during a couple of very short points, easily apparent for the whole length of the walk. Finish off by ascending White Rock itself (there is a bench and 'White Rock' sign set up under the cliff - begin ascent in the rocks to the left of the sign) or carry on along the trail for some interesting rock formations.

Really enjoyed the walk along the ridge and White Rock is pretty cool

The walk is quite straightforward. I was at the top of the ridge in about 40mins from the car park and it only took 5mins to walk to White Rock. The walk from White Rock back to the car-park using the multi-use track is basically a dirt road and very easy. The view from the top of White Rock is fantastic and the rock itself is quite impressive.

Great little walk we did this the easy way after visiting White Rock via the multiuse trail. we headed left from the top of the timber stairs. not very well sign posted. but easy enough for us novices. Great views along the ridge. We would have struggled to have found the start of this walk if we were starting at the bottom, as no signage at the start the trail.

Still a few patches of wild flowers along the ridge. A pair of nesting falcons on the eastern face surprised me as much as I did them. The walk along the ridge is much more enjoyable than the multiuse trail, a little rough but not hard or terribly steep

The ridge walk is much more interesting with great views and a nice breeze, the walk that runs along the base of the ridge is flat, sandy and often dug out by bike riders.

White Rock itself is pretty cool, you can climb it or walk around the base to find the easier route up. (If you walk around the base of the rock, apparently there is a pair of nesting falcons that will swoop if you get too close, I did not see them as I climbed the rock)

I saw at least 6 people at various points along the walk, so it is a popular place to visit.

This is a medium grade walk at best .. and worth doing .. particularly if you want to take your kids along. Climbing the rock is easy enough, and offers decent views from the top.

We returned on this track after walking to White Rock via the Multi-user trail. The track was easy enough to follow but wasn't signed and we had to make decisions the track divided. We must have taken a wrong turn because we ended up on the Yaddunam track. Never the less I recommend the ridge. It was very green today and quite pretty.

The start of this hike, a little way off the White Rock multi user trail is not signed at all, but easy to find if you look around - the multi user trail cuts a haul road, and signage directs you off to the right. Instead of turning, follow the haul road 50 metres north and there is another small sign on the right sending you up the ridge trail. Much more interesting, although more challenging than the multi user trail. Quite rugged in parts and good footwear is a must. Signage is absent a few hundred metres after the start. The track peters out on a rocky outlook where you can see White Rock ahead. A little casting around will show up the last trail marker, sending you down a cleft to go across the col and then up to White Rock.

Surprising walk

Did the white rock ridge walk, was a great walk with great views. There was one part we found a little difficult as beginner hikers but many different tracks and photo opportunities.
