Mount Ninderry is one of the first monoliths you see when you turn off the Bruce Highway at Yandina and approach Coolum.


It’s about 360m high with a car park about halfway up.


I’ve seen it dozens of times on our many trips to Coolum, and eventually decided to check it out.


I cycled there this morning, and hiked to the top for some great views of the the coast and farmland around Coolum.


Some of the hills were a challenge.


After the hike, I discovered the dirt part of Ninderry Road which is a steep horse trail leading down the north-eastern side of the mountain. It was a lot of fun on the mountain bike – although I took it pretty slowly.


Then it was an easy ride along mostly dirt roads back to the main drag and home.


All up about 43km with maybe 450m of ascending.
