Completed this circuit on 24/25 August, 2013.
This is one of the most interesting and underrated hikes you could do in SEQ. The scenery is fantasic, with an interesting plane wreck to discover for good measure. Sure is one tough climb up to the Bomber. We camped at Lizard Point South. The old forestry trail along Emu Creek South is now completely overgrown with stinging nettle.
Had a crack at just the bomber part but turned back, just looking for any tips as the track becomes quite confusing on the overgrown trail with all the coloured tape in the trees, (it seems it there to lead you the wrong way) i have read there is a split in the track prior to heading up the steep part to the wreck is this true?
Also there is another track that shoots off to the right just a short distance from the car park - it slowly makes its way up the ridge for about 1500m but then seems the track is lost, is it leading anywhere in particular?

Great trail to do.
Water is very unreliable at Lizard Camp (without significant descent downhill). Very reliable at the Falls, I would suggest grabbing enough for the night *and* the next morning here.
Trail is barely a goat track (if that) in places but if you can read contours it's pretty easy to follow. There was quite a bit of Flagging tape marking trees between the Start and Mt Superbus summit (when completed Sept 2018) and a few sparse strips to Lizard point. None between Lizard point to the End.
Trail was also over grown in a lot of places so allower for a slower pace than your usual as you'll be snagged on a lot of vines/trees.
Quite a bit of Stinging Nettle in the creek areas, especially the last section of the creek after coming down from the Steamers.
Hi mate in your opinion which is the easiest route, clockwise or CCW?
Peaky70, I have done it both ways. CW is easier. CW there is less altitude overall to gain on Day 1 with a heavy pack, the climb not as steep as the nasty climb to the Bomber and the distance hiked is not as far (assuming Lizard Point for overnight camp for both).
Cheers thanks info

This is a great trail. We've done it three times now and there are always twists and turns to this challenging circuit. Spectacular views, a bit of scrambling, and plenty of challenging navigation. The water courses vary with the seasons and this year the fires have done dreadful damage - but the circuit is magnificent!
