Main Range National Park

GPS Tracks
Short track walk to see great view of Mt Castle, Flinders Peak and even Brisbane on a clear day.
Getting there:
Pass through Cunninghams Gap on Cunningham Highway. Turn right at Goomburra Road. Turn right onto Inverramsay Road at the Goomburra Hall and follow this road. The road crosses the creek a number of times as it passes a number of private campgrounds (Gordon Country).
From the New England Highway turn off the highway 3km south of Allora onto Inverramsay Road, follow Inverramsay Road, then Forestry Reserve Road east for about 35km to the park entrance.
When you reach the National Park boundary take the left branch (Lookout Road). Kurrajong Picinic area is on the right, then cross the creek once more. This crossing isn't sealed but can handle conventional cars as long as the creek isn't running too high - there is no height sign so pre-walk the creek crossing first.
Mt Castle Lookout walk is on the right about 7km along Lookout Road.
