369 Mount Kiangarow (GPX)

This track leads to the highest point of the Bunya Mountains: Mt Kiangarow (1,135m). The track climbs 132m over 1.4km, gradually winding around the mountain and leading through an avenue of grasstrees at the crest lookout. An excellent spot to view the sunset.

Officially rated Grade 3/Medium (uneven track surface + steady, gentle incline), this is relatively gentle walk that would be suitable for most ages/fitness levels.

Tick Walk

Getting there:

Bunya Mountain Road is the thoroughfare to Bunya Mountains. It can be reached from Kingaroy south on the Bunya Highway for 32km and turning left (signposted). From Dalby north, you need your GPS to get to the base of the drive. This is a very steep and twisty mountain road, which is shared by hikers and lots of wildlife, so please take care.

Start at the Burtons Well camping and day use area at the northern end of the park.

Route/Trail notes:

From the picnic area, cross the road to the signposted start of the trail. Follow the track as it slopes gently up and around the mountain to the summit lookout, passing through shady, fern-carpeted vine forest, native raspberry thickets, a corridor of grass trees and sparser vegetation towards the summit. There is only one interesction, which is clearly signed. The path is well-defined and easy to follow, though some sections have rocks and tree-roots that could cause a trip-hazard - remember to bring a torch if returning to camp after sunset.

Return by the same route.

Permits/Costs:

None.

Camping options are available at various points along Bunya Mountain Road, including Burtons Well. Fees Apply.

We enjoyed the walk, but beware of ticks. None actually attached, but three climbed up on us while at the lookout.

Beautiful walk was heavy mist on the way up but cleared enough to reveal beautiful views from the top of the walk. And remained sunny on the way back it was the best of both. Very easy walk with great views.

So far as mountains go, this is a nice easy walk with a gentle incline all the way to the top. Several pockets of grass trees along the way which are quite pretty. The path is really good too.

Did this walk with my parents to discover a fantastic view at the very top. An easy stroll well worth it.

Did the 1.1km in under 19mins with full pack on. It was quite fun to push ourselves. At the very top there are only views towards the East. And the lookout has numerous rocks to sit on.

Watch out for the stinging plants everywhere. Views all thge way to the coastline uninterrupted. Be ready for change of conditions. They really do happen within 5mins.

If you follow the track back down and approx 50m from the lookout there is a side track going to your right when facing down the track. This will take you to good western side views, worth the effort and since more and more people are going over there soon the track will be well worn.

The weather changed 7 times in an hour while up there.
