Nice walk with primary age kids. A couple of quite steep sections. Fantastic view from the lookout.

Very steep for me (low level of fitness), but quick enough. Good views, bit hazy due to back burning, but still a nice little hike.

Fairly pleasant walk. A couple of steeper trail sections but nothing too strenuous. Views are OK but not spectacular, although you can see the CBD.

Nice walk. Nothing too spectacular though. Good to get the heart pumping. Views are limited from the top.

beautiful native bush, view is a bit blocked at the top by tall trees, but still worth the walk

The hike to Goolman Lookout was pleasant and not at all difficult. The trail was wide and accessible, with some steep sections but no climbing or scrambling required.

I walked back via the ‘Rocky Knoll’ Lookout which, true to its name, was a rocky knoll which you can only access by climbing over a barbed-wire fence 😳

This hike was suprisingly easy besides the heat, recommended for anyone who wants to go on an easy lookout hike however ensure they day is clear so you can see out to sea

Very steep climb up, Took my breath away. Can't see much of the view from the top because of trees but nice enough to sit in the cool breeze. Enjoyable walk just difficult enough that you should feel it the next day I expect.

I have done this walk several times as I live close by. It's a very special walk when the wattle is in flower. Going to the top is breathtaking (both during the climb and when enjoying the view). You can also do parts of the walk if you're not up to the whole lot. Lovely picnic ground at the start.

Me and my partner did this walk just 2 weeks before I gave birth to my baby boy haha. It is a rather hard climb at some points especially if you are not fit. However, what a wonderful way to get out and see your surrounds. Beautiful view. We made an afternoon trip so we got to see the sunset - stunning!

Nice walk, a bit steep in some sections but ok. Great view at the top

Unfortunate weather meant there were limited views, but made the walk less tiring.
Clockwise path from Harding's Paddock advised as the descent was tougher than the climb.

Lovely walk - nice view at the top. Took my partner and I about 50 minutes up and 35 minutes back. Had a couple of short rests up some of the steeper parts towards the end.

Well defined wide track that takes a steady climb to the top at the Goolmans lookout. Seat to stop and enjoy a break. Views of the Great dividing range and across to Brisbane. Moderate climb, but easily done with average fitness. Location of walk is well sign posted from main Ipswich/Boonah highway and plenty of parking at picnic grounds. There is to be a camping ground built too at some stage.
