Challenge yourself on this moderately difficult hike to one of Girraween's
granite peaks—
Castle Rock. Ramble through shady eucalypt
woodlands high on rocky ridges, and revel in stunning
views from natural lookouts. Enjoy birdwatching amongst the black cypress, stringybark and
orange gums perched high on the rocky ridges. Have your binoculars or camera ready!
At the final leg of this hike, tackle the steep climb over exposed
granite rocks to
Castle Rock and be rewarded by jaw-dropping 360-degree
views across the park. Enjoy a
well-earned packed lunch at
the summit, surrounded by these breathtaking vistas.
