Description

Mount Beerburrum (280 m) is a volcanic plug in Queensland’s Glass House Mountains. Its summit walk starts at Beerburrum Trailhead near the local state school and covers about 3.5 km return. The route begins under trees before reaching a very steep paved climb to the fire tower; hikers list about 90 minutes for the return walk. The surface can be slippery after rain, and the tower looks across the Glass House range and southeast Queensland.

Routes

Mount Beerburrum Summit Track (jalur puncak beraspal)

Sedang — jalur berpaving sangat curam

3.50 km Sekitar 90 menit (perkiraan panduan jalur)

From Beerburrum Trailhead near Beerburrum State School, follow the zigzag path through the trees to the former car park, then climb the steep paved fire-tower access road. Aussie Bushwalking lists 3.5 km return, about 90 minutes and roughly 215 m of ascent. Return the same way; the paved surface can be slippery when wet.

Sirkuit Beerburrum–Yul-yan-man dari Tibrogargan Trailhead

Berat — perjalanan panjang dengan jalur berbatu dan turunan bongkah curam

17.00 km +586 m 4 jam 31 menit (catatan perjalanan; kondisi individu)

A firsthand trip report starts and finishes at Tibrogargan Trailhead, linking Tibrogargan Circuit, Soldier Settlers Trail, the Mount Beerburrum summit, Yul-yan-man and Trachyte Circuit. The author records 17 km, 586 m of ascent and 4 hours 31 minutes. This is substantially harder than the summit track alone; Yul-yan-man follows markers over rock and includes a boulder descent that can be slippery. The time is one hiker’s record, not a general estimate.

Climbing Experiences

Hikers describe two different scales of outing: a short, paved summit walk and a longer circuit linking Beerburrum with other Glass House Mountains tracks. A 2022 firsthand report records a 17 km, 4-hour-31-minute loop via Soldier Settlers and Yul-yan-man, with rocky climbing and a boulder descent that becomes slippery when wet. For the summit walk alone, Aussie Bushwalking lists 3.5 km return and about 90 minutes. Check conditions, choose a route that suits your ability and do not confuse the multi-track circuit with the short summit walk.
