About the Walking Track at Mt Ngungun, Glasshouse Mountains
Mt Ngungun is a part of Glass House Mountains National Park and it towers over pine tree plantations, fields and bushlands. It is a very popular place for up-sailing , with its vertical cliffs providing heaps of fun for the adrenaline junkies.
The 2 hour (return), 2.8 km walking track starts in the open forest winding past gorgeous greenery until you pass a perfect little heart-shaped cave.
After that you will hit some rocky stairs which will guide you all the way to the summit, where you will get a breathtaking view of Mount Tibrogargan, Mount Coonowrin and Mount Beerwah.
