Menu
This is a relatively easy track on sand, although the last section up to the top of the viewing platform is quite steep and will get the heart rate up. It provides a good view over the National Park parts of the island and out towards the bay. Apparently on very clear days you can also see to NSW, the Sunshine coast and the Border Ranges. There are lots of banksias and grasstrees. Recommend that people do this in the early morning or late afternoon. Those scared of spiders should avoid as there are lots of spider webs across the pathway and it is difficult to see them in some light.
Signs say to allow 2 hours return. I completed this in 1 hour 35 minutes with a moderate fitness level.
This is pronounced Bib-boo bee-yan, meaning mountainous country in Jandai language (Quandamooka)

Getting there
Mt Bippo Penbean is located in the Naree Budjong Djara National Park on North Strabroke Island. The carpark is located on the East Coast Road, which runs between the township of Dunwich and the other habited parts of the island. It is clearly signposted. You will generally need a car to get here. There is public transport on the island available via local bus, but unfortunately the buses are unreliable and drivers can be difficult to deal with on some occasions.

Route/Trail notes
From the carpark, the walking track gently climbs in elevation through dry open heath vegetation. Continue following the track. Just before the summit it will intersect with a management track, which is clearly signposted as such. Continue to the summit and lookout. Return via the same path back to the carpark
Permits/Costs
No permits are currently required but there are transportation costs to get to the island.
