Comments

The first section up to Fairview Mt. is a boring fitness track. (Very steep 4 WD track.)
The rest of the way is very nice. Well marked with orange ribbon where ever you need it and always following the top of the ridge.
180 m north of Pinnacle you come to a first rock. Easy climb 2 m high. No marks anymore. Stay west of the highest part of the ridge. Its partly overgrown by grass trees. First stunning view to Gold Coast with a 2 m high "pin" rock in foreground.
Now follow the top of the ridge to the Pinnacle rock. Dont try to climb the northern end to the top if you are not a climber. Follow the path west of the rock to the southern end of the rock where it is easy to climb up. (The path is overgrown by grass trees but never more then 3 m away from the rock.)
I followed the nice ribbon marked track to Warrie Circuit. Including Warrie Circuit and the way back to Austinville road it is 20 km in total. I was happy to start at 5 a.m. to hop on my bicycle at 4 p.m. Long but not exausting.

Lots of solitude until a group of dirt bikes came across Fairview Mt down to Austinville Rd. Beware! You hear them for a long time and suddenly they speed around the corner.
