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. Continue along the gravel section of the road for a further 3.5km to the walk's car park.
An alternative road from Stanthorpe to Girraween via Eukey and Storm King Dam has some gravel sections.
From the car park, the track is well signposted and you bare left after 200m to the creek and back. The track to pass through swamp communities, woodland and shrub land. There are numerous rocks to scramble up and a small boulder cave with a waterfall to explore. The track continues around the main rock feature and up a short hill where you can stand on the lava flow rock fields on top of the rock feature.
Most people will combine both this and Dr Roberts Waterhole into one walk, by branching off left to the waterhole on the way back. This gives a 3.6km round trip walk.
None.
With so many bushwalking options in the park, why not take advantage of the excellent camping facilities at Castle Rock.
