    Fairly easy walk (we added this on from Mt Sturgeon) and very pretty lookout and you may spot some wildlife!

    1km hike up, 1 km hike down - approx a 1 hour return trip. Great short and sharp hike to see some amazing views, and often away from all the tourists.

    This low hill a few kilometres north of the town of Dunkeld offers a short easy walk up to its' summit with views north to Mt Abrupt and south to Mt Sturgeon.

    Drive up a short dirt road to reach the parking area, which has sufficient space and a single picnic table (not suited for caravans). Fairly easy and pretty walk to the top - about 2,5 kms return (straight up and back). Great views of Mt Abrubt along the way and from the top as well as surrounding farm lands. If you walk a little further around, you can also see Mt Sturgeon from the top, but be careful as there isn't a clear path.

    Easy uphill walk when it's not too hot and the path is not too muddy. Walking through after a rainy day was pleasant and you could smell eucalyptus along the way. A breathtaking and panoramic view with many photo moments.

    A great hike for those short on time or who don't want a massive climb. Great sunset views of Mt Sturgeon. Would be a great sunrise hike too for the views of Mt Abrupt.

    You can get to The Piccaninny from 2 entrances and the distance is similar from either point. Short easy walk if you go to the lookout and return or you can extend it by going to the other entrance before returning.

    Great place.. a bit rough on the hike but worth the climb. Definitely recommend. Just don't wear thongs.

👍👍 Wonderful place to visit. Run by volunteers, you couldn't get better service and attention. Make a call in Spring when the wild flowers are in bloom. They have a magic garden around the side and at the back. You won't see better in the wild.

👍👍 Really good walk that isn't hard but isn't easy. It's 3kms to the peak, with the first 1km pretty flat sand paths, then the last 3kms is rocky steps and incline. I'm not a super fit bloke, but I was fine. Took us about 3.5 hours up and back with a lunch stop in the middle. It is windy at the top but...
