Mount Piper Volcano Circuit and Summit - Mitchell Bushwalking Group

Come walk in a local landmark that has been confused by many to have been a extinct volcano, but it is in reality largely made up of sedimentary rocks riddled with quartz veins. The conservation reserve is home to two threatened species - the Golden Sun-moth and the large and small Ant-blue Butterflies. It is also home to many bird and animal species, including the majestic Wedge Tailed Eagle.

There are two walks in the Mt Piper Conservation Reserve - the Summit Walk at 2.8 km and the Circuit Walk of 5.7 km. Participants can choose to complete 1 walk, or both. Please let the leader know your plans.

DISTANCE: Summit Walk 2.8km. Circuit Walk 5.7km. Combined Walk 6.7km. Please let the leader know which you prefer to do.


WHO IS THIS WALK FOR? This walk is suitable for beginners wanting to start bushwalking, with some fitness, as the summit walk is steep, and requires some scrambling.

AWT GRADE 4 (Medium): The Summit walk is Grade 4 and the Circuit walk is Grade 3. The combined walk is Grade 4. AWT Grade information.
