Getting there:

Turn off the Bruce Highway onto Steven Irwin Way and just north of Beerburrum turn into Barrs Road, which is signposted for access to Mt Tibrogargan. The fire trail access is on the left opposite 210 Barrs Road. Park where you can.

Maps:

Glass House Mountains

Barrs Road is marked, but not Mt Cooee.

Route/Trail notes;

Start from the National Park gate on Barrs Rd and walk along the “fire trail” for 500m to the 'T' junction. There  are now at least four options open to you, all requiring a bush-bash to the top:

1) Go straight ahead.

2) Turn left and after 300m head east to the top.

3) Turn right and after 800m, when you reach the cleared agricultural land and dam, turn north west to the top.

4) Go beyond this point and follow the power lines to the top of the ridge. You will have to go back into the trees at some points as the gullies along the power line track are too dense to get through. At the top of the ridge, turn left and fight your way to the top.

Due to vegetation at the summit there are limited view so have a look around, but be careful, as the shrub can hide cliffs.

Permits/Costs:

None

Other Comments:

The fire trails and scrub on the mountain have not been maintained (2016) or 'back burnt' and looks like an accident waiting to happen as it is all timber dry and what has been cut down along the fire trail no longer provides a fire break.
