Chilly extremely windy morning - 4 degrees when we arrived at Sylvester's Lookout at 9:15am. Walked on from the Hole-in-the-Wall to Castle Hill (howling gale along the ridge) and then down a quad killing spur to the valley below and the Rosewood-Aratula Road. 4 1/2 hours in all.24 Jun, 2010
Yes is a good walk but you need to be confident of your off track skills.10 May, 2010
The walk from the L/O past hole in the wall arch, over the boars head and along the riazorback to the top of Mt Castle is one of the best day walks in SE Qld.27 Feb, 2010
This track from Sylvesters Lookout is virtually overgrown. Only for the experienced off track walker. Be prepared some of the rocky areas are extremely slipperly when wet or in the mornings due to dew. I would recommend taking your time.
