Mt Maroon (Mt Barney National Park) |

| Come off the Boonah-Rathdowney Road onto Cotswold Road & theres a car park after a few km - we didn't see any signs to the mountain or walk. Took a group of 4 of us about 2 hours up at a reasonably quick pace, and an hour down at a quick pace. Everyone in the group was fit. Mt Maroon is actually pretty big and is steep all the way up! Not to be taken lightly. Take a decent bit of food. 2L of water was fine for me on a cool day in late May, but 3L would do you if you wanted to have plenty. There's a fair bit of scrambling but nothing very hard & no free climbing. We went the wrong way at one stage. Follow 'noobwalker's advice. You scramble up between the two peaks you can see on your approach from Cotswold road. So if you come up against the very steep wall of the left hand peak, you need to cut back and head between the two peaks. You'll see the well established path and orange markers. Probably the best views of any mountain I've climbed in queensland. Amazing! |
