Mount Coochin

Mt Coochin a good 'heart starter' for training purposes.. Nice view on top of a Coochin 1.. Probably best to have trekking poles for descent back to car park. Lots of loose rocks on track. Certainly wouldn't walk it in wet weather.. For me, in my early 70's it was a slow trawl up of 30 minutes.

Little carpark off old Gympie road, google maps didn't help, I used all trails to find the carpark.nIts a pretty good hike, mostly mild, a little rock scrambling. Two peaks which is a nice change from most hikes.nHas some absolutely stunning views from the top of both peaks.nWould recommend 8+ Yo unless they are experienced hikers.nHiking boots or trail shoes both work well.

Amazing views, and the hike up isn't too bad at all.

Did my first walk there today...amazing views. Some tricky parts, one has to be careful in some spots. But I'll be doing it again.

Good hike. I did both east and west peaks seperately and it was a good work out for me. Loved the off-track leading to the top on both.
