Create an itinerary including Mount Ngungun

Mount Ngun Ngun (said as Ngun Ngun) is the sixth tallest of the Glass House Mountains at 253 m. It has a well maintained walking trail to the summit that affords good views. The trail from carpark (with tap) is not as steep as the higher mountains and is open to beginners. The south face contains steeper, unmarked but well known rock climbing routes. When viewed from Moreton Bay it lines up with and is silhouetted by Mount Beerwah and Mt Coonowrin/Crookneck. This was noted by Captain Cook on his first voyage of along the East coast of Australia. It is known as the dingo to the family of the rest of the Glasshouse Mountains.

Ngun Ngun is arguably the best place to view the taller mountains that QNPRSR has restricted access to.

While the views are really spectacular once you get to the top, be aware that this is challenging for anyone with mobility issues. I went with my daughter who is an avid hiker/mountain climber and...

Easy hike. Well maintained. At the top the 360 views of the glasshouse mountains and surrounding areas is spectacular. Bit of rocky scramble at the top. Good idea to wear trail shoes for grip. No public toilets at starting point/car park but 1 about 5min/3km away 11 Bruce Parade, Glass House Mountains QLD 4518

Relatively easy uphill walk to the summit with some stunning views of the Glass House Mountains at the top, and well worth the walk. It takes about 45 minutes up at a leisurely pace and 30 minutes to descend towards the car park. Lots of shade, although limited at the top of course. A very mild scramble at the top, and an open cave to view along the way. There were lots of butterflies at the summit when we visited (Jan), and the walk was relatively busy during peak morning. Parking available near the start point at the base of the walk, although gets full quite quickly.
