My boyfriend and I headed back to this area to experience the serene camping ground and hiking trails recently. We just love it. It’s a natural hidden gem, so close to Brisbane! From the summit you can see the Brisbane skyline and Moreton Bay, it’s such a reward for all the hard work to get to the top. While the hike is easy in some areas, it can also be quite challenging as you scramble over rocks – so we’re lucky that we’re both quite fit. We were also lucky enough to be able to book in and camp overnight, only a short drive from the hiking trails. With only a few campsites we nearly had the whole place to ourselves! Again we were blown away with how many stars were in the sky, it felt like we were a million miles away, even though we were less than an hour from Brisbane city. If you want to experience this if full, I would recommend a camping trip at least overnight, but I wished we had of booked the entire weekend. Discover this natural hidden gem for yourself!!!
