I did this climb on a hot, dry, 33 degree day. The fire trail is tough but it's worth it - don't give up! I made the mistake of turning onto the first track that goes to the bottom of the cliff-face, but the trail didn't go anywhere. Note the tree at this track also says 'PP', but it also says 'NO PP - EXIT ONLY' - this is not the tree you want to turn off at to reach the peak. I also saw a greenish-brown snake slither into the bushes ahead of me on this track, but none at the top track or the peak. On the peak, once you've crossed the knife-edge and you reach the first lookout, you can double back about 15 metres and climb down to the track below, which continues to another lookout further on. Going down I was a bit worried I wouldn't be able to get back up again, but the climb up is easier than the climb down. |

A fun and challenging climb that's not too long. | ||||

Great walk, wasn't too busy, would have loved to go to the Warringa Pool but ran out of sunlight. The waterfall is very high and a great spot for a photo, although a bit touristy. | ||||

Absolute favourite walk in SEQ. A varied walk that goes through multiple biomes with heaps of interesting features along the way, just absolutely magical. A great way to experience the rich history of this old-growth forest (although please be respectful). Recommend taking a torch if you start the walk after midday (especially if you stop to look at things along the way), sundown can really creep up on you here where the forest gets extremely dark on the way back - you don't want to be caught out. |

A really nice walk through lots of varied scenery and lots of interesting things to look at along the way. The walk took longer than we expected, make sure you allow enough time before sundown or take a torch. Definitely need a 4wd to access. | ||||

Nice walk through pleasant rainforest, but I recommend the Southern approach if you like a bit more of a challenge (I think the scenery's better too). | ||||

An awesome walk through magical, lush rainforest. Lots of walking up-hill on the way back but manageable as it's not too steep. The water was extremely cold but very refreshing. Recommend going when it's quiet as there aren't many places to sit around the water. |

Great view but the walk's very easy and not much of a challenge if that's what you're looking for. Is there any way to get to the bottom of the waterfall? |

This walk was really hard to find, a nice long walk but not very interesting. The water also wasn't very appealing, it was a black/brown colour and had bubbles at the edges. |
