Suitable only for fit, experienced and well-prepared bushwalkers, the 15 kilometre Bartle Frere trail extends from the coastal plain to the Atherton Tableland across the impressive Bellenden Ker Range. Crossing Wooroonooran National Park, it ascends the summit of Queensland’s highest mountain, Bartle Frere (1622 metres) on the way. This, the eastern approach, begins at the Josephine Falls carpark. The first section to Big Rock camp is a moderate climb through rainforest. Many walkers choose to make their base camp here and carry only day packs to the summit. A steep side trail branches off here to Broken Nose (962 metres) with excellent views. The main trail ascends steeply from Big Rock to Eastern Summit camp. To reach the main summit from here entails boulder hopping and scrambling but, on clear days, you will be rewarded with views of the coast and across the Atherton Tableland.
