Itinerary description
390) Donnelly’s Castle – 25th July 2022
Return Distance 0.8km, Max Elevation 991m, Climb 29m, Time 0.75hr, Level - Easy – Pops, Elaine
Co-ordinates: -28.561550, 151.881490
My Blog:
This was fun after a hearty lunch at the Stanthorpe Cheese Factory climbing to the lookout and then investigating the various routes through the ‘caves’ below.
Short Description:
A nice little walk around the rock formation features of Donnelly’s Castle Lions Park with the lookout above and the caves below.
Getting there:
Take the New England Highway north from Stanthorpe and turn left at the Big Apple in Thulimbah onto Amiens Road. Follow this road until you see the sign to the Castle on your left down Donnelly’s Castle Road and left again along Castle Lane (unsealed) to the car park and picnic area.
Maps:
None found.
Route/Trail notes:
From the carpark and picnic area walk up through the archway to the sign. To the left for a walk to the Lookout atop the boulders via a metal staircase and to the right down to the caves beneath the boulders.
There is no fixed pathway down and around the caves.
Permits/Costs:
None.
