About this place

Mount Augustus is dominated by a type of sandstone, however, there are also boulders of other rock types such as fine-grained siltstones up to 60cm in diameter derived from older pre-existing rock units. These can be observed along the trail to Goordgeela Lookout.

There is no drinking water in the park, please bring your own and take all rubbish out with you.

Trails

Goordgeela Trail

Goordgeela Trail
Bush Walk
3 kilometres

For those wishing to get good views but finding the longer Summit Trail a bit intimidating, the Goordgeela Trail could be for you. This difficult 3km return hike passes through open acacia shrubland for 550m, then scrambles up a long and steep rocky watercourse. A steep ascent takes you to a lookout with views to the north.
