An amazing island of rock, soaring out of the valley, ringed by towering cliffs, dotted with distinctive pagodas, the rock fractured by countless cracks, canyons and caves all waiting to be explored. It is a playground for big kids, and despite looking quite small on the map it seems to contain an endless array of new places to discover and be completely blown away by it beauty.

There is a parking spot at the start of the walk up to the top along the Wolgan Valley road. You are looking for a stile over the fence at Co ordinates S33 14.090 E150 10.632. The walk up follows an old fence line going up the hill. The track becomes lost in some parts. Once at the top you will see the magnificent rock formations known as the “Columns of Donkey Mountain” The towers of rock also overlook the Emirates Resort. Looking down at this resort, it seemed mind-blowing to think people were forking out $2000-plus a night and yet the views from up here were better than anything they could see! It just goes to show that the best things in life really are free.
You are looking for a ammo box with a Log book and pencil. Please no swaps or Travel Bugs as per National parks instructions.
While up the top you might like to explore some of the other parts of the mountain, Donkey Canyon, Grand Hall (Good Camping spot), Eagle Nest, Gum tree room and many interesting Pagodas and rock formations just to name a few.
