Mount Ngungun Summit Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Mount Ngungun Summit Track is a well-formed walking track in Glass House Mountains National Park that climbs steadily through open forest to the summit. The route includes sections of stone steps and short steeper rock slabs but remains a non-technical ascent suitable for most walkers with moderate fitness. At roughly 2.8 km return, it’s a popular short hike known for its quick elevation gain and expansive views.

Dayman’s Cave

Highlight • Cave

Dayman’s Cave is a small rock overhang located just off the track near the upper slopes. The shallow shelter is a short detour that is often visited as a quick side stop on the climb. It offers a good sense of the mountain’s volcanic rhyolite formations and sheltered microhabitats.
