Trip taken last saturday . Track in good order apart from a landslip at head of O'Niell's Creek ,but it is transversable.
Still some nice flowering on the plateau. A bonus is the greenery of the farmland viewed from the summit , even
though it is summer.

Ah, always wondered. Where does the track start from? How long does it take roughly.
Cheers, Ian

The main track starts at a car park area about 2 ks along O'Niells Road. This road is about 400 metres west of the free camping area as you enter Gowrie Park
coming from Sheffield . There are plenty of signs plus a log in book there. The other track ( which I havn't done) starts at the end of Kings Road . Although shorter in distance this is much steeper.

And alot more fun. Not difficult at all, but much nicer on the eye.

Sorry didn't answer other part of your question. Takes about 5 hours return which includes a couple of rest spots on the way.
Probably could be done quicker , but no point going up there and not admiring the views.
