GPS Tracks
A nice, easy walk with nothing too strenuous. Leading from the car park, begin the Tibrogargan Circuit. At the first fork take a right (sign post and map at the fork). The circuit winds through open eucalypti, casuarina and native flora alongside Mount Tibrogargan and Mount Tibberoowuccum. Signage along the track provide information about the area's flora and fauna. The trail then ascends to the Jack Ferris lookout which is atop Trachyte Ridge and affords walkers a panoramic view of surrounding peaks and pine forest plantation. Interestingly, the Glasshouse Mountains themselves are volcanic plugs formed largely of rhyolite and trachyte which remain after the surrounding sandstone eroded over 25 million years.
