Easy walk. Nice to do late afternoon and enjoy the sunset

The mountain is very low but the view is much better than what you might expect. A lot less crowded than mount coolum.

Very easy walk, took about 10 minutes to reach summit. Nice views of the surrounding areas still.

Great little walk. Views from Noosa to Coolum

Hello, i want to know if in this track we arrive to the Peregina beach, which is called The Ocean Beach walk

Easiest mountain hike I have done. Much more bushland in the view than Mt Coolum 3km away. Multiple places you can stand so you get a view of everything. It got its nickname due to the emus that lived up here. I post photos of my hikes to instagram.com/spring_beans and I am based in the Sunshine Coast :)

Great short walk. Interesting bushland. No emus anymore unfortunately.

Linda on Feb, 2019

Really easy walk and several good spots to make photos

Alex on 22 Sep, 2018

A short walk but with impressive views both north and south. Only 10 minute walk to the summit so nowhere near the 1 hour return walk as suggested.

Troy on 10 Sep, 2018

Great walk. Beautiful ocean views. Easy to do with kids.
Good route for people who want to have a run.
