You really don't want to be walking the 4WD track in summer.Upper Portals, beautiful spot, now, and the many times I have visited over the last 35years! 400 meters. There are some steep sections, and some rocks to scramble over, but it’s an easy trail for regular hikers. Definitely a pretty track but I'm not so sure what it would be like in drier conditions.Commenced the walk from Mt May camping area so this meant being tortured by lugging our packs all the way up the 4x track to the Cleared Ridge car park, from here we made our way to Cleared Ridge where we layer on the green grass in the afternoon sun taking in views of Mt May and Mt Maroon then making out way down to Yamahra Creek camp site where we spent the night, explored the upper portals and further down stream by finding the by pass track so we didn't have to get our feet wet, next time we will do the walk through to lower portals... the return trip went back the way that road was hard on the knees and slippery under feet while having a full pack on your back...must of slid at least a dozen times..lol....and slipped over once...but after saying that was a incredibly rewarding experience.. :-).Nice walk along fire trails, not too exciting, plenty of creek crossings so be careful after rain. Steep walk downhill to the portholes - beautiful after so much rain, so many small waterfalls and creeks everywhere. Once the portals were visited, ascended up the track starting from the high point of the portals bypass and climbed steeply uphill to the top of the ridge with stunning views of Mt Barney. If you want to avoid the crowds, head there early. Passing through beautiful eucalypt woodlands, the trail crosses a series of shallow streams through the undulating landscape before leading to the stunning swimming hole at Lower Portals.
Don't expect any signs to tell you you're still heading in the right direction either. A much longer walk if you don’t have a 4WD.
The Lower Portals. We did this walk in about 2 hours (ran back to get the steep hill over and done with), it’s pretty steep but the walk in from Waterfall Creek Reserve is ridiculously steep and unrelenting.
The drive is harder than the walk.1.From Rathdowney head south-west on Mount Lindesay Hwy towards Boonah.5.Follow it until you reach Mt May campground. The trip, we drove up the track, to Waterfall lookout, which is in a very poor state.
There is an information shelter at the start of the track.We drove up the 4WD track to the start of the walk (going through a number of gates on the way) where there is a small information shelter and signage. Worth it!Rock hopped from the Mt Barney gorge junction remote bush campsite and checked out the scenery along the creek (amazing!) There was a D9 Dozer when we got down the bottom, coming of the back of a truck. The Lower Portals are located in Mt Barney National Park. The Lower Portals at the foothills at Mt Barney is a worthy stop in the Scenic Rim region, showcasing many of the beautiful natural assets in this area. We followed the trail and ended up making 14 creek crossings each way - cold but well worth it. Your evaluation may differ. No surface material, after probably a meter of rain from cyclone Debbie. Lower Portals and Mount Barney ist ein 3.9 Meilen langer, stark besuchter Hin- und Rückweg in der Nähe von Mount Barney, Queensland, Australien.
If you are walking the 4x4 track bring plenty of sun protection too as alot of patches are in direct sun.The walk is mostly fire trail until you reach Yamahra creek, there you cross the creek and follow the footpad for a couple hundred meters ther you'll find the upper section of the portals, cross the creek again and you'll see a track that leads up the hill, follow it up and along to get to the lower section of the Upper portals.there are three remote campsites here fees apply see https://www.epa.qld.gov.au/parks/iaparks/gds/IAGDS050.jsp?quickParkId=8,Take a walk in south east Queensland is a handy book. 10 minutes later we hit the end of the fire trail and followed it all the way back to the Barney … Nice to see, not sure if i'll do it again unless I stay at one of the campsites.Completed this walk twice now. If you're in a 4wd continue uphill to the information kiosk and carpark. The distinctive peaks of Mount Barney, Mount Maroon, Mount May, Mount Lindesay, Mount Ernest, Mount Ballow and Mount Clunie make up Mount Barney National Park. Follow the signs to Mt Barney Lodge, until you come to a sign heralding Lower Portals Road on your right. Dirt roads make up the final few kilometres of the journey but these are fairly well kept and easily manageable in a 2WD. The mighty Mount Barney Getting there. Probably wont start from there ever again!We did this walk today didn't really think that it deserves it's hard rating.My girlfriend and I completed this hike on a perfect 'Winter's' day with not a cloud in the sky nor encountering a single soul from start to finish.Pretty easy walk, just follow the 4WD track. While accessing the lower portals is quite easy, well it is a hard walk in parts, but it is well signposted and accessible from a designated carpark.
The hike features beautiful views at every twist of the track.The dirt track winds through tree-filled vistas and then you’ll be rock hopping across Mt Barney Creek, before heading up the red sandstone track, which is moderately steep in some parts.If you’re lucky, you might spot some rock wallabies near the track.Regular hikers should reach the Lower Portals waterhole in about an hour, but if you’re hiking with children allow about ninety minutes one way.When you arrive at the large boulders sitting in the creek, you’ll need to manoeuvre up through a couple of round boulders on the right to reach the gorge section. If you’re in a 2WD, you may want to pull off into an informal parking area just before the hill.Reaching the Lower Portals carpark is about a two hour drive south of Brisbane, and about an hour and 45 minutes from the Gold Coast.This trail is of moderate difficulty.
