Glass House Mountains National Park

When to Go

Queensland’s sub-tropical climate means that outdoor activities are possible year-round. Summer (December through February) is the most popular time to explore the park, and picnic areas can fill up quickly. Temperatures are slightly cooler than along the coast, but highs can reach more than 35°C, so plan activities for the early morning. 

Know Before You Go

• Glass House Mountains National Park is about a 1-hour drive north of Brisbane along the Bruce Highway. Entry points and car parks are by the Beerburrum, Beerwah, Ngungun, and Tibrogargan mountain peaks. Trains run from Brisbane to Glass Mountains Station, four kilometres north of the park, but there is no direct public transport.

• The towns and villages around the national park have cafés and shops where you can pick up picnic supplies, but the only facilities in the park itself are restrooms and picnic benches.
• The Tibrogargan trailhead has wheelchair-accessible facilities, but there are no accessible trails within the park.
