Mount Beerwah Track

Mount Beerwah hiking track in the heart of Glass House Mountains on the Sunshine Coast contains remnants of the open eucalypt woodland and mountain heath vegetation, which once covered the coastal plains, provide a home for an interesting variety of wildlife including 26 rare and threatened plants.

This walk takes you through open eucalypt forest past the picnic area and up some steps to a lookout. As you continue up a very steep cliff, you walk through a pocket of closed forest with tall turpentine trees believed to be about 200 years old. On the way, you will see columnar trachyte, a volcanic rock.

Mt Beerwah is 556m high so the climb is equivalent to walking up a 114 storey building!
