Cunninghams Gap to Bare Rock & return - January 2024

Cunninghams Gap is only an hour or so west of Brisbane on the busy Cunningham Highway. Several spectacular walks can be accessed here. It can be difficult to find a park, the spot is so popular with walkers. And so it was today, a short wait for a park. I encountered lots day walkers on the shorter walks, after about four km I was virtually on my own. I noticed a tiny brown snake disappear off the track on my way back.

  2. Hi Rod, doesn't the National Trail go through Cunningham,s Gap? Is that part of your trail ?

    1. The National Trial crosses the Cunningham Highway a few kilometres east of the Gap, and is roughly parallel to the range. The track I took is part of the Scenic Rim Trail.
