A walk in along a forest road, with the reward of wonderful views of the surroundings from the lookout, including Mt Eewah, which at 422m is just 2km in front of you.

A easy to moderate hike which roughly follows the course of Gheerulla Creek to Gheerulla Falls. Experience changing habitats as you leave the cool, valley floor to skirt the hills, pass through eucalypt forest and then return to rain forest. You will pass deviations to Thilba Thalba walkers’ camp and later to Ubajee walkers’ camp, but keep going straight ahead, following the signs to the waterfall. Return by the same route. There are several water holes which may provide swimming opportunities.

You'll enjoy walking past waterfalls, peering into gorges and resting near rock pools. There's some stunning views and wonderful lookouts along the way. Notice the plant communities around you and how they change from warm subtropical rainforest to tall open eucalypt forest; all protected in three beautiful national parks—Kondalilla, Mapleton Falls and Mapleton.
There are more than 100 species of birds, about 70 reptile species and more than 30 frog species, so you'll have lots of wildlife around you.
The Sunshine Coast Hinterland Great Walk's many access points offer different walking options.

Only a very short walk from the car park and a bit of rock hopping if you want some good pictures, with the option to walk up to the dam and Jack Harrison Park.

The walk begins in the riparian rainforest and winds its way up into the dry eucalypt expanse of the Brisbane Forest. Note, there a quite a few steep sections (both up and down) which may be covered in loose shale.

Great short to medium length bush walk with not too many many people. There is a very steep section on the southern end of Devils Break which can be covered in shale so appropriate walking shoes are a must here.

A nice 5k walk from Wirrabarra road. I would recommend heading along powerline break first, then up lantana break and coming back down Rocky Mountain High. Lantana break is heading directly up from the gullly to the top of the ridge, quite a challenging walk, but well signposted and takes about two hours all up. I'd recommend heading there after a little bit of rain so that the ground is softer and not at slippery.
