This challenging track starts at the Jawbone Carpark and leads up to The Farmyard Camping Area. After a short descent into the ferny gully of Jawbone Creek, the trail climbs dramatically towards the summit ridgeline, offering impressive views of the rock formations and surrounding countryside throughout the ascent.

Hikers can climb further to the spectacular lookout point on North and South Jawbone summits, or continue north along the ridgeline as part of the Cathedral Range Northern Circuit.

This Grade 4 1.4km long track takes 1 hour to complete (one way) and is recommended for walkers with some bushwalking experience. Most of the track is well defined, but less so in the higher sections. Look for the orange track markers to stay on track (a topographic map and compass or GPS device is recommended).

Visitor Tips: Check the weather conditions before setting out, and allow plenty of daylight to complete your walk. The weather on the range can change quickly and there is no shelter, so ensure you are well-equipped, and wear appropriate clothing including sturdy hiking footwear. Carry sufficient water to stay hydrated (there are no natural water sources on the trail). Phone signals are unreliable – hikers should consider carrying a radio or personal locator beacon, and don’t forget to communicate your intentions to friends or relatives before setting out. Download the Visitor Guide for more advice on safe and enjoyable walking in Cathedral Range State Park.

Restrictions: Please note this trail is for walkers only (no bicycles, pets or horses).
