View not fantastic. Manageable walk - don't think it's quite the 8ks stated. Otherwise, very nice :)Laurence Hallam on 23 Sep, 2011
A great walk for Brisbane. loved the little trails that offshoot the main track.Stump1100 on 11 Sep, 2011
Not sure how it was measured at 8Km as we measured only 4.66Km. Couldn't see how the extra was made up - anyway, it's a good workout. Rival to the Kokoda trail on Mt Coot tha for the elevation climb so its an ideal training track.stryker on 29 Apr, 2011
Entry via Cobalt street in two places also. Turn right into Cobalt St off Mungarie and entrance is after 3rd house on left; other is off where Cobalt St intersects Glengarry Rd. Have yet to see an echidna but plenty of birdlife, bugs, and one snake so far...Laurence Hallam on 19 Feb, 2011
