Girraween National Park
Granite rock formations, creeks, and hiking trails await.
A popular national park just 26 kilometres south of the country town of Stanthorpe, Girraween offers more than 30 kilometres of walking trails to choose from. Adventurous hikers like the climb to the top of the 1,112-metre Pyramids, which requires some rock scrambling up a vertical incline and results in a reward of commanding views over the park. A giant granite boulder perched at a ridiculously precarious angle is arguably the park’s most famous attraction. Girraween is an Aboriginal word meaning “place of flowers”—in spring, wildflowers bloom all around the park.

In the spring months of September and October, native pea flowers (bush peas) create vibrant splashes of pink, orange, and purple throughout

In the hot months of January and February, be prepared to walk earlier in the morning or later in the day to avoid the heat. Temperatures can hit 32°C (90°F) midday, when the sun’s reflection on the granite surfaces make it even hotter. In the spring months of September and October, native pea flowers (bush peas) create vibrant splashes of pink, orange, and purple throughout the park. Weekends are always busy, but winter wind gusts can make the park’s popular climbs too dangerous to attempt. In July and August, you may see frost or occasional snow on the ground.
