Mt Edwards is the conical-shaped peak rising beside the Cunningham Highway close to Aratula and lies within the Moogerah Peaks National Park.
We will set off at 8am initially crossing the dam wall before we begin our ascent to the top of Mt Edwards at 634m. The climb starts out quite gradual and affords good views of Little Mt Edwards and the Reynolds creek gorge before things start to get tougher with a steep climb and some loose rocks before tapering off over the last 600m to reach the summit.
Once at the top you get good views across the Fassifern valley from various spots before heading back down to enjoy a picnic lunch at the dam (optional)
● Views of Little Mt Edwards & Reynolds creek gorge
● Moogerah Dam

Absolutely sensational! Had THE best time, ticks all the boxes! Elijah and Remy were simply excellent, totally professional, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful - could not ask for better hosts. This trip was absolutely awesome, a fabulous group of ladies and to top it all off, snorkelling with whale sharks and manta rays in a mating frenzy… wow!
Awesome trip away as usual..the food was great! thank you to catering for my food intolerances. The two Sue's were awesome..so caring and made sure everyone felt included and safe. The area we walked in was sooooo beautiful, every day was different and it was so great to be out in nature even when it rained 😜
Pemberton to Northcliffe was my first trip with Adventurous Women and will certainly not be my last. Everything about this trip was exceptional and reflected the work of an amazing and very experienced team who are all totally devoted to ensuring that each participant has an amazing experience. Sue O and Jazzy are two amazing and inspirational ladies who have extensive knowledge of the track and are so willing to share their expertise with you. This amazing team are a shining example of excellent team work and the delivery of exceptional service with a very 'can do attitude'. Felt very safe in their company and knew that they genuinely wanted us all to have a fun, safe and enjoyable trip and that was achieved at every step of the journey. Food was exceptional and in plentiful supply and very suited to the needs of hungry walkers. An overall amazing experience with an an outstanding organisation and with fellow walkers.
This was my first multi day hike and I am hooked! I learned so much about hiking and I learned a lot about my ability as well. All the ladies were fun, friendly and supportive of each other, great camaraderie and our guides - well they are hiking angels who made our weekend the aboslute best.
Another fabulous AW trip. I come hiking with AW for a Mum vacation. I feel cared for by the fact all the logistics are taken care of, time in nature and with like minded people. Guides who create a positive experience for all. I enjoy the personal challenge that each walk offers.
Every aspect of the trip as always is considered and planned out to maximise enjoyment, ( including the epic cooking).
This was an amazing adventure. The organisation was flawless and Sue provided us all with an empowering, once in a lifetime experience. All services Adventurous Women selected as part of this package were top quality, with supportive and encouraging guides. I thoroughly recommend this trip and any adventure that Sue pts together.

What an amazing experience! The landscape is breath-taking. Very special thanks to our guides, Sarah & Mandy. Our safety was paramount with them plus ensuring we had an extraordinary adventure. An AW trip to be recommended.
