Timbarra Lookout

Basket Swamp National Park

An outcrop of granite rocks near the southern edge of the Basket Swamp National Park. An easy 100-metre walk trail brings you to the base of this trig point which is high on the tallest rock in this outcrop though to get to the trig on top of the rock requires a hard climb up a very narrow crevasse. 180 degree views across farmlands and the Bruxner Highway and as far as Tenterfield can be seen from the rock.

Route/Trail notes:

The walk to below the trig is easy. The ‘hard’ difficulty rating comes from the tight climb up a crevice to get to the trig on top of the tallest boulder. Difficult because of how small the crevice is, probably a greater risk of getting stuck than falling out. If you are unable to get up to the trig views are still offered from the rocks below.

Permits/Costs:

None.

Other References/Comments:

None provided.

Comments

I would like to say that we climbed to the top and the trig, but alas we could not fit ourselves through the crevasse and were unsure what was beyond. Still, walked around the base to the far side and enjoyed what views we could.

The walk to below the trig is easy the hard difficulty rating comes from the tight climb up a crevice to get to the trig on top of the tallest boulder. Difficult because of how small the crevice is probably a greater risk of getting stuck than falling out. Reminded me of the climb to the Mount Norman summit though with less exposure and with probably less technical aspects though potentially tighter. If you are unable to get up to the trig views are still offered from the rocks below.
