Curlew Ironbark Circuit

Mt. Coot-tha

Wide tracks but plenty of medium difficulty up and down as you criss cross ridges and creeks. Downhill can be a bit slippery on the gravel.

Comments

Great walk with hills, just keep an eye for dogs off the lead.
I prefer to dfo this loop anti clockwise as the ironbark track is quite steep at the southern end where it meets Curlew circuit, definitively easier to walk up than down it as the ground can be loose and gravely.

Great walk to get the heart pumping. All in all took me 45 minutes, with a slight detour off onto an adjoining track for a quick look. Handful of steep sections, the ascent clockwise would be easier than going anti-clockwise. Really dry, would be fantastic after some good rain.

Nice easy morning walk. Took 40 mins so not at all challenging.

Great walk today with the fiancé and husky. Some steep sections but a nice way to start the day. Took us about 45 minutes and enjoyed a BBQ at Gap Creek Reserve picnic area afterwards.
