Wickham Peak Trail

Mode of Travel:

Walk

Route Type:

Circuit

Starting at the Wickham Timber Reserve, access this trail conveniently via Pineview Road.

Traverse through the expansive eucalypt forest until reaching the foot of the rocky sandstone escarpment, known as Wickham Peak.

A solitary walking path veers southeast, leading directly to the lookout point atop Wickham Peak. This incline demands moderate fitness levels, as loose gravel may pose slipping hazards. From Wickham Peak, relish in panoramic views encompassing almost 360 degrees of the surrounding landscape. To the north, marvel at an unobstructed vista extending all the way to Brisbane City; on clear days, the distant skyscrapers are easily discernible on the horizon.

Calytrix Circuit

Mode of Travel:

Mountain Bike, Walk

In Plunkett Conservation Park, the Calytrix circuit diverges from the Wickham Peak trail, offering a shorter alternative. This circuit winds through a sandstone plateau, weaving amidst open eucalypt forest and dense heath understory. En route, pause at Grasstree lookout for views stretching east and south towards Tamborine Mountain. Named after the prolific flowering shrub Calytrix tetragona, the circuit boasts vibrant blooms, particularly noteworthy between August and October. This period sees the forest transformed by a breathtaking array of colors as the heath flowers come into full bloom.
