Python Rock Track

How to get there

1. Via Canungra to Green Mountains. Trailhead on the access road before the main day-use loop.
2. Can combine with Centenary Track from Green Mountains day-use if you parked at the far end.

How to do it (step by step)

1. Follow the signed Python Rock Track to the constructed lookout.
2. Stay on the platform. Supervise children. The view is the product — not a scramble toward Castle Crag.
3. Return the same way. Optional Moran’s Falls is a separate Grade 4 return from the same trailhead.

What to expect

Official: 3.1 km return, about 1 hour, Grade 3, constructed lookout. Views toward Moran’s Falls, Castle Crag and Mount Razorback on a clear day. Fog is a valid Lamington outcome — the walk still counts.

Same trailhead, different walk

Moran’s Falls (Grade 4, 4.4 km) and Python Rock (Grade 3, 3.1 km) share a trailhead precinct. Decide which one is the hero before you lace up. Doing both is a reasonable Green Mountains morning; adding Toolona after both is how you finish the descent in the dark.

Map (orientation)

Pin may be approximate. Confirm trailheads, parking and track status on Queensland Parks before you drive.

Short waterfall day — Moran’s, Python & Centenary

Green Mountains only: Centenary Track, Python Rock lookout and Moran’s Falls — named waterfall and escarpment views without a 6-hour creek circuit. Tree Top Walk only if it replaces a walk, not stacked on top.
