Aussie Bushwalking

It's like Wikipedia... but for Bushwalkers!

Aussie Bushwalking is a user-supplied list of bushwalking and hiking tracks in Australia - made by bushwalkers, for bushwalkers. It helps bushwalkers find new walks, share walks and track conditions and remember their Australian bushwalking/hiking activities.

Springbrook Pinnacle

It's about 4-5 kms to the turnoff for this walk which is clearly marked by a NPWS Meeting of the Waters Sign. There is a fairly clear footpad with red and pink ribbons all the way along the track. There are lots of ferns the variety of which I'm not familiar with. The ferns were chest high in places but the foot pad was still there. Once you come out onto an open, rocky patch you know you are almost there. l made the mistake of following the track through the Grass Trees to the back of the Pinnacle and tried climbing it, but after 6 or 7 meters decided to return. Then I noticed the track I should have taken which heads up the front of the Pinnacle. This way is a lot safer. Coming back, just after entering the rainforest there was a fallen log. I turned right here and was going around in circles for a while till I used Alltrails to get me back on track. The track actually went under the log. Had no problems after that. By the way it's about a 40 -45 min walk to the Pinnacle from the turnoff.
