This walk is very popular and we enjoyed it a a few
times before over the past few years. Mt.Cordeaux is the peak on the west of
Cunningham’s Gap. A medium graded track climbs up through the rainforest
where you can breathe fresh clean air and admire great views. Apart from the
bellbirds one may also hear the catbird. Passing beautiful brush box trees and
spring flowers we should be able to find an abundance of spear lilies creating
a brilliant red display. Once we contour around the top of Mt.Cordeaux,
towards Morgan’s lookout, the observant hikers may spot the lovely rock
orchids. About 20 minutes further we reach the top of Bare Rock. Our lunch
break here will be enhanced with grandiose views to the North as far as the
Glasshouse Mountains and the forested mountains of the Main Range to the
East and West. This walk is suitable for all ages, but care must be taken
around the exposed cliff lines.

Suggestion: There is very limited parking at Cunningham’s Gap.

It may be a good idea to arrange car-pooling and have

as few cars as possible up on the Gap’s car park.

The fewer cars the more we help our pristine environ.

with car-pooling.
