You can’t ‘tick’ this walk without a tick or two. Another enjoyable walk but check yourself - so many ticks! | ||||

Easier than I remember - or maybe I’m fitter. Up waterfall gorge for the gorgeous views from the rocky slabs. Down palm gorge which is like waterfall gorge without the views. Saw people with two dogs - SO frustrating to see dogs in a national park 😡 |

Another enjoyable walk to Bally Mountain. Since last time there are new signs and barriers stopping hikers going to the top of little Bally mountain - instead you head down and across to Bally from near the abandoned farm house. Great views from the top on a clear day |

Father’s Day walk to the top. You can walk past the summit and do a bit more exploring north. Great views over the dam. | ||||

Loads of fun. Easy to miss the turn off from the fire trail but use Wikiloc app. I’d rate this more difficult than it is due to ridge line which could make lots of people scared, and there’s a bit of scrambling down and back up from the saddle. Great views all along the riddgeline - no views from summit as overgrown. | ||||

Another hike up - this time with my old man so up and back via the well defined track to the west - great views - hiking group of about 20 people at the top. Found 3 ticks - make sure you check yourself! | ||||

Great walk. Arrived 8:30 on a sat morning to find carpark full (20ish cars) and I was thinking it would be packed. Didn’t see a single person and getting back carpark was empty - weird. I went up to little Bally first as per a wikiloc map - I found there was a pretty easy to follow path up by crossing the creek after the grassy area - didn’t cross the grassy area. The ridge between little Bally and Bally was the best part - fantastic views. The only hard part was after the ridge going up Bally it was mostly dry dusty dirt with little to hold on to which made it challenging. The views from the top are 💯- it was a clear day and I could see the whole gold coast and south west to Springbrook, Cougal and Warning Coming down I followed the longer well defined track to the west which joins up to a fire trail |

Enjoyable hike. Instructions easy to follow - did both East and West peak. As mentioned, East has better views but I enjoyed the track to West more - especially the giant spear lily tunnel you crawl/climb through. Still very overgrown at the start - lots of ticks - check yourself. Lots of lawyer vine/wait a while which are quite aggressive and can rip your hair out as I found. We found it hard to find start of track as we were first to start and drove past the gate to find a large ditch in the road - don’t go that far! On return about 20 cars parked. Keen to head back at some point to check out Boyd’s Butte | ||||

We took our three young kids (4, 6 and 8) up today. It wasn’t easy with the little ones but still enjoyable and they made it without a lot of complaining. Lovely views at the top but limited shade. | ||||

Nice hike - steep in parts and very long and arduous coming back. My watch counted 17.5km including getting a bit lost. I recommend the wikiLoc app to not get lost. East peak was completely covered in cloud so no view today :/ Very hard coming down in the rain |

I’m glad to have done this but won’t rush to do it again. Found it harder than Tibro, and that means harder than any other walk I’ve done. Views at the top are much better than Tibrogargan. Came down East face - good variety. | ||||

Came down this track after ascending tourist track. I found it tricky in parts, make sure you get some good holds. Going up would be just as hard if not harder than tourist track. Only for the experienced. | ||||

I love this mountain! The hardest part for me was keeping on the right track as there are a few places where it's easy to get lost. Once you know where you're going it's great - love the summit and the views! |
