Mount Ngungun (pronounced 'noo noo')but generally known as "Gun Gun" is a very popular hike due to its relative ease and fantastic views. Traditional owners have asked that this mountain not be climbed.

A well defined graded track with some steep sections. The track begins in open forest with a fern understory. Part way up the mountain, there is a great view of Mt Tibrogargan as the track passes a small rock overhang. The summit provides spectacular close-up views of nearby Mt Tibrogargan, Mt Tibberoowuccum, Mt Coonowrin and Mt Beerwah.

Great walk and beautiful views, we did this walk in the evening to see the sunset and came down on the dark with headlamps.

Great little walk,pretty popular. Views are good,but smoke haze obscured some of the grandeur, will revisit in Winter on a clear day

Beautiful sunset view

Loved this walk super easy track and the caves along the way where cool. Felt good reaching the last steps to the top to expose an amazing view and array of butterflies and birds. Great views but highly recommended a sunrise or sunset trip went in the middle of the day and it got pretty scorching at the summit

Nice, short, easy-ish hike. Great views from the top but it gets very busy. Took us around 30 mins to get to the summit.

Awesome hike! Great one for kids, as it's fairly easygoing for the most part and not too long. A couple of steepish parts, but the track is well defined. Took us about an hour to reach the summit, and half an hour back. Make sure you take plenty of water with you, especially in the warmer weather. It was 28 degrees today, but a nice breeze made it bearable. Views from the summit are incredible and make it all worthwhile. Definitely recommend!

Nice views, comparable difficulty to Mt coolum.

Took the kids up, my 4 yr old got tired towards the top and I carried my 2 yr old most of the way.

After renovation, it is easier with kids.

Solid walk. Beautiful scenery and decent exercise for someone with low to medium fitness.

Recently reopened and looking great. Still an amazing trail. Made easier now with a lot of barriers and rock stairs added. We took our 3 and 5 year old kids and they practically ran up. Would describe as a sister to mt coolum only 20x better.

Nice new track

This walk is quick but going up is a sure test of fitness! Basically an hour up and 10 mins down hahaha. Really worth it once you get to the top just make sure you pack plenty of water and maybe a picnic for when you get up top
