Wonderful views from the top of the mountain, snow possible in most seasons. Toilets basic, a single viewing cabin for shelter so take a warm jacket. Try some of the bushwalks on the way back, and stop at the Fern Tree Wildside Cafe on the way back for well earned hot chocolate or coffee.

Very cold and Windy but spectacular view 3000ft above the City.

I can see 'our' Mountain in all it's moods from my house. I go up there to walk often. My favourite time is in the winter.
