. I walk mostly in South Eastern Australia and New Zealand’s South Island. Time for experienced hikers: 3-4h to the summit; 3h back down, Time for inexperienced hikers: 5-6h to the summit; 4h back down. Overall the path is steep but fun with lots of roots and trees to pull yourself up on. Rounding the bottom corner of the end of the cliffline, the track heads steeply up. Penalties apply for non-compliance. After this boulder scrambling, the track passes around the left side of a massive detached block, before reaching the final section of climbing, next to another massive block. A fall here would be very dangerous, as it is fairly exposed. Take the right branch, which leads up to the Tunnel, a dark narrow pass through the tail of the Castle to the eastern side. The top of the Castle is covered with rocky platforms, separated by low scrubby heath. The NPWS has again constructed steps from logs and boards, and these should be used as much as possible to prevent further erosion. From 28 Aug 2010, last checked 28 Aug 2010. Not knowing what to look for we walked past the entry point and were searching up and down the river frantically for about an hour.

Toilet is non-operational at Burrumbeet Brook campground. A short walk to a rather unique copper coloured waterfall situated in Morton National Park, inland from Sussex Inlet. I have walked Pigeon House many times but The Castle walk sounded so grandious that it's always been a walk I planned to do. We were fine in our Hyundai iLoad! Sophia almost gets blown off her feet at one point. Several small clifflines need to be passed on the right or left, and the correct direction is generally indicated by an arrow scratched in the rock. Save my name, email, and site URL in my browser for next time I post a comment. From here, follow the trail as it criss crosses the side creek, Castle Creek, before climbing out on an old forestry road up Kalianna Ridge. Continue on as Croobyar Rd becomes Woodstock Rd and then Woodburn Rd. This leads into a slot a couple of metres deep, which needs bridging to get up, though there are good footholds. While the total distance is not large, the climb of nearly 800m is capped by a series of exposed scrambles near the summit. The Castle is a spectacular and challenging day walk to one of the iconic peaks of Morton National Park. It's so beautiful with many walks to be had. Pay careful attention to the route you have taken as you will need to reverse it on your way down. For those who have walked the route before and remember a scramble up this lower cliffline, the constructed section bypasses this old route completely, as it was becoming very eroded. While the total distance is not large, the climb of nearly 800m is capped by a series of exposed scrambles near the summit. The NPWS has done quite a lot of work in this section, building steps and stabilising slopes. Keep an eye out for arrows scratched in the rock as these point out the route in case of a decision needing to be made. One section of the steep exposed climb to the summit. ... Ettrema Gorge - Morton National Park - Duration: 10:27. [Some of these notes are adapted from the Monolith Valley trip also found on this site.]. A sign scratched into the rock points right to TC (The Castle) and left to MV (Monolith Valley).
