Girraween National Park — Attraction in Girraween

We had a great experience in this park. It is so special that no other parks can match. The boulds are very rare and spectacular. My kids said they are meteors landed in this spot of earth.

We drove from Brisbane for 3 hours, in a small sedan. The roads are all good, not needing a 4wd. We stopped at Stanthorpe for lunch and arrived at Girraween around 12pm. Walked to the arch, and then to the pyramid. Spent about 3 hours in the park. The pyramid is hard. After a long hill climbing with stairs, the final climb is on the smooth rocks. My kids are scared and stopped without reaching to the peak. Safety first. Even climbing to the half way in pyramid is breathtaking and it is definitely not for weak heart. We had sports shoes and they are not very suitable. Need proper hiking shoes for better grip of the rock surfaces. When it is wet, I can imagine it will be very dangerous to walk on the sloped rock path. Luckily, it was sunny.

We then went to Heavenly Chocolate for an afternoon tea and will have a nighe sleep in Warwick. It was a fun drive and bush walk. Very unique one for us to remember for...

Stopped here along our travels to stretch our legs so we went for one of the smaller walking tracks.

Wyberba walking trail

Explorer and botanist Allan Cunningham led the first European expedition into the Wyberba area on Tuesday 26th June 1827. Cunningham's party found their way to a high spot in the north eastern section of the present day Girraween only to be confronted with what seemed like a endless barrier of ridges.

Vast sculptured granite landscape with craggy outcrops, huge rounded boulders poised aloft, colourful slabs and giant stone arches with meandering waterways lined with plant life that in spring bursts with flamboyant wildflowers is how it's described in the billboards and I must say that it was absolutely amazing seeing the wonderful landscape and waterways along the small trail we followed plus there were plenty of interesting billboards located around the grounds. The information centre was closed when we visited but there was plenty of picnic tables, toilets and benches around the...

Girraween National Park is an area of the Granite Belt in the Darling Downs region of Queensland. Girraween is known for its spectacular landscapes and unique wildlife. Bushwalking and rock climbing are the most popular activities in the park. The park contains many kilometres of graded walking trails. It features granite landscapes, balancing boulders, clear streams, wetlands, cascades and open forest. The granite outcroppings, such as the Pyramids at 1112 m, dominate the local scenery. The highest point in the park at 1267 metres! Absolutely amazing!
