Flinders Peak Hiking Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

At roughly 6 kilometres return, Flinders Peak Hiking Track is a Class 5 route that begins as a relatively easy path before becoming steep, rough, and increasingly challenging as it climbs toward the summit. The track includes uneven surfaces, rock scrambling, limited signage, and no water sources, making it suitable only for well-prepared and experienced walkers. As you get closer to the summit, several breathtaking viewpoints and a great resting spot before you reach the top reward you for your efforts. Allow a full day for the return walk, as the ascent is physically demanding and requires strong navigation skills.

Flinders Peak viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

This clearing has a helipad-style platform that offers a rare open vantage point along the otherwise forested climb. The flat, open surface is the perfect spot for unobstructed views out toward Ipswich and the surrounding ranges, making it an ideal place to rest and take them in before the steeper upper sections. Its exposed position contrasts with the enclosed trail below, and is a rewarding spot after a challenging climb.

Flinders Peak (Booroong’pah)

Highlight • Summit

The summit of Flinders Peak rises to about 679 metres and is a fantastic reward for the challenging trek to reach it, with expansive views across Ipswich, the Scenic Rim, and surrounding volcanic peaks. The upper slopes are rugged and exposed, with rocky outcrops and cliff-edged sections that require careful navigation. From the top, the landscape opens into sweeping views of the Bremer River catchment and distant ranges, ideal for finding your perfect well-earned spot to soak in the scenery before heading back down the mountain.

A lot of boulders, clambering and bushbashing to get to the top 👌
But the highlight came towards the end with the sighting of the echidna!
