Why Hiking Mt Lindesay Is NOT recommended.... Scenic Rim - QLD/NSW
Monday 12th August 2019 - Wikilocs here:
Hiking up Mt Lindesay, Scenic Rim on the QLD/NSW border. Don't get too excited as I didn't reach the summit. I'm only a simpleton hiker after all!
My access to the mountain was via the border fencing which veered around to the south. It is like a 40 degree incline up the slopes to the base of the clouds and you will be climbing up on all fours via ground roots and whatever you can grab.
Once you come to the southern side of the first tier, directly in front of you is the Gully route to access this Rock. Once you start ascending, there is a climbing rope... but this still is a treacherous route up unless you are an experienced climber with a head for heights. I probably got up about 60m (then realised I wasn't Bert Salmon who could scale this rock like a mountain goat) and that I still wanted to go home alive and live a little bit longer. So, down I went.
At the base again of tier 1, to the east there is a nice little cave... undoubtedly sheltering the reported resident Yowie. I continued eastward for a few hundred metres to find there was no real route to ascend the mountain, and the bush was thick and way too overgrown. I did give it a shot though.
I decided to backtrack and went past the Gully rope access point of tier 1 and clambered on the western side. Very thick growth and extremely rough terrain, with serious bush bashing through scrub. Sheer vertical rock wall of tier 1, nil access points seen.
Got to the Western ridge line and then descended down via extremely rough foliage and terrain until circuited back close to the start point. Let me stress that this is dense and rough country here with numerous Lantana and Gympie Gympie plants... one slide of its leaves over your exposed skin, and it will sting and burn for the rest of your day... Don't ask me how I know. Nil snakes seen today most likely due to being winter.
Might try again some time from the northern grassy paddocks & slopes to find Vidler's Grave. I have heard that is an easier and faster route to the north-eastern cliff faces.
Bummed I wasn't able to summit this mountain from my route, and I have great respect for those that have. Particularly the first females who summitted this 1177m high mountain, Jean Easton and Nora Dimes, who made the ascent with Bert Salmon in March 1931. If you have ever seen photos of their climb, it appears they had minimal gear. Simply amazing especially considering it was a wet day when they did it.
Final words to anyone considering climbing up this Rock, unless you are an experienced climber.... this is NOT a mountain for hiking such as the easy Mt Barney. Maybe I'm a big namby-pamby (that's a fact, actually) who needs to take up rock-climbing and abseiling but that is my two-cents worth at this stage. Great respect to Mt Lindesay and to the elusive Yowie that lives in these parts who is rumored to scale this rock daily with nil gear.

Mount Lindesay (Map 8)
This video is about climbing Mount Lindesay, which is located near Denmark, in the Great Southern area of Western Australia.
Mt Lindesay is only 2km from the Munda Biddi Trail on Map 8, so many riders do visit it. It is a steep walk to the top, but this “island” of ecology contains some plant species found no where else in the world. If you have the energy, it is worth the detour.

Denmark, Western Australia, in addition to its abundance of natural beauty (think rugged coastline, white sandy beaches, tall trees) is also home to award winning wineries, artists of all kinds, and many popular festivals.
This short film showcases only a small part of what Denmark has to offer, let alone the rest of the Great Southern region.

Mt Lindesay is a 23km drive from Denmark town along scenic sealed and unsealed roads. Mt Lindesay itself sits 385 metres above sea level and the summit is reached by a 10km return walk and is classed as moderately difficult with some steep sections. You should allow approximately 3-4 hours for the return walk and make sure you follow all safe bushwalking practices such as taking plenty of drinking water, sun protection, tell people where you're going and what time you expect to be back, walk in a least a group of three people, etc. ( read more about safety here: )

A few kiliometres from Denmark town, Lights Beach is actually several beaches. The sealed roads from Denmark end in a carpark with a lookout and there is also a paved path leading to some wooden steps to get down to the longer stretch of beach which is also an authorized dog walking area.

Elephant Rocks and Greens Pool
Approximately 18km from Denmark along sealed roads is William Bay National Park that among other attractions features Elephant Rocks and Greens Pool. Greens Pool is famous for calm turquoise and green water and white sandy beach and is a popular spot for swimming, snorkeling, and simply relaxing. Elephant Rocks is named after the giant granite boulders that some say resemble a herd of elephants walking out to sea. Also popular for swimming and snorkeling, there can be strong currents that run through the cove so care should be taken.

Great Southern Ocean Safety
You should take care when visiting the Great Southern coast, unexpected large waves and strong currents can be dangerous. Be careful when walking next to the ocean, fishing off rocks, etc as people have died on this stretch of coastline. You should always obey the official signage at each location and ask at one of the local visitor centres about safety before heading out.

Anzac Day 2017 - Mount Lindesay
The mountain lies on the Queensland-New South Wales border, approximately 140 km south west of Brisbane, Australia. It is one of a number of peaks in the McPherson Range, and is remarkable for its tiered summit, the eroded remnant of lava flows from the nearby Focal Peak shield volcano.[3] Mount Lindesay is situated within the Mount Barney National Park in Queensland and the Border Ranges National Park in New South Wales. Apart from the northern slopes, the rest of the peak is covered in dense rainforest, and the summit is frequently in cloud and mist.

2020 Scotsdale Road, Denmark, Western Australia
2020 VISION PERFECT!
This 5.5 ha gem is on top of the hill on Scotsdale Road, 20 km from Denmark and directly opposite the Alpaca Farm.
This gorgeous home has wrap around verandas enjoying 360 degree serene views. Privacy is protected by an olive grove on the east and your own Karri Forest on the west - sheltering you from prevailing winds. The sunny back patio and pergolas face north while the house faces south to the ocean with glimpses through the trees of William Bay – roughly 10 minutes’ drive away.
The property is cleverly divided into quarters – Karri forest, pasture, an olive grove and the house and gardens.
Enter into a large open plan kitchen/dining/lounge area with wooden floors and a wood fire. Large windows and a skillion roof add a feeling of space, light and airiness.
The main bedroom en suite is separate from the second bathroom and 2 more bedrooms.
The kitchen is small but practical with a feature tree slab as a main working counter and a deep pantry.
The north facing patio is pure joy to behold and filled with pergolas, various seating areas, a circular driveway and a variety of prolific fruit trees and roses.
The studio is insulated and powered, with wide windows and sliding glass doors. It has a council approved commercial kitchen facility where the current owner presses olive oil.
Zoned Tourist 6: Holiday accommodation, restaurant, cellar sales etc. which makes it doubly attractive and precious!!
Enjoy as is or develop and prosper…

Mount Edwards Day Hike
Come along on a day hike to the peak of Mt Edwards in Queensland, Australia. The walk begins from Moogerah Dam where we cross the dam wall to access the national park. Along the way I track down a couple of geocaches, and enjoy the scenary. The track is quite steep in places and I got a decent workout. However, the spectacular views from the peak made it all worthwhile. As always, it was great to get out into the bush for a while. I hope you enjoy the video, thanks for watching.
