a few years ago i was told i should have a look at this one and today i did. i was a great walk. i wonder where the name comes from however as ther was zero hoop pines to be seen from the lookout. the track norows and gets a little hairy when you get on the araucaria section. on rhe way oit i passed a good section of antartic beech trees dropping some leaves and was serenaded by at least 6 different liar birds(also from the lookout they were replying to each other). you get a real feel for and view of the ridge lines in the area and an almost 360 degree view to finish. Most of the western view includes the border track ridge to the NW and Mt hobwee to the SW. Also a great perspective of the numinbah valley and across to Springbrook repeater station area. Mt warning was also visible today. |
