Bald Rock Creek Circuit

Girraween National Park

This circuit is ideal for a sample of Girraween’s finest features, with ample opportunity to see some of Giraween’s feathered, furred or scaly residents.
Cross Bald Rock Creek and follow it downstream along The Junction Track until it meets the track from the camping area. Use the stepping stones to cross the creek again and return to the day-use area via the camping area.

Girraween NP is situated approximately 260km by road south-west of Brisbane. To reach the park, turn off the New England Highway 26km south of Stanthorpe or 30km north of Tenterfield onto Pyramids Road. The winding bitumen road continues a further 9km east through the Wyberba Valley to the park's Information Centre and day use picnic area.

An alternative road from Stanthorpe to Girraween via Eukey and Storm King Dam has some gravel sections.

It's good to have a flat part in between after all the boulders.

Blissful little walk on a Monday morning I'm the wee hours. And still warm enough to justify taking the boots off for a shallow yet refreshing wade. Would love to take in more of the waterways in the park if this is an example.

Completed the Northern circuit walks today. Started out towards the Pyramid. My husband wasn’t keen so I went on alone but after getting a third of the way up the last rock face I decided it wasn’t for me. I have made the summit many years ago and didn’t enjoy it. It’s not the height but the severe fear of falling backwards that takes away all enjoyment on these types of rock faces. Very achievable physically for moderate fitness though. The walk to the Junction and remainder of the bald creek circuit is stunning and highly recommended. Easy walking and just amazing scenery.

Pretty walk but disappointed to find the junction was fully dry so no swimming opportunities

Really picturesque. Great to do first thing in the morning when all the wild life is out! Plenty of colourful parrots everywhere!

Nice and easy family walk, but cooold in winter. Meeting of the waters' site is the reward.
