Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I tackled Table Top as part of my 9 month training for Mt Kilimanjaro. It’s a short 2km return hike but it’s challenging & requires technique, concentration & reasonable fitness. The first 100-200m is straight uphill & will really get your heart pumping. From then there is a challenging section to navigate over large rocks where focus & strategic foot placement is essential (I’m sure people have twisted many an ankle here). The next section is uphill with thousands of small black rocks/pebbles underfoot for a few hundred metres - you need to take care here too as it’s easy to lose grip. Then the last section is sheer rock face that involves rock climbing/scrambling & you need to pull yourself up carefully with hands and feet - taking it carefully and ensuring four points of contact here is key as it would be easy to lose balance/placement & fall a considerable distance below! But for me I enjoyed the challenge & this was great training. I saw a family doing geocache on the way up. Once at the top the views are indeed spectacular. You can walk either side via tiny little clearings in the long grass and get views from both north & south. On the northern side there is a rock sculpture with nice views and I spent 15 minutes just chilling and looking at the sky and the mountains off in the distance.
Hint - drive all the way to the end of the road if you just want to do the summit. I stopped at a car park further up the road which had an alternate starting point which required an extra 2km or so of walking.

Table Top Mountain is a fun climb and it's handy to Toowoomba.Its virtually on the edge of town.The views at the top are amazing,however the climb itself is a bit unsafe with all the very loose rocks.Would be so easy to roll an ankle

I climbed Tabletop quite a few years back and didn’t find it as difficult as I did today, and I was 20kg heavier back then. I don’t ever remember having to practically rock climb the entire way. Initially very steep with lots of rock scrambling. The loose rocks and the steep, almost vertical climb at the end, have always been challenging. I managed to fall quite hard on the loose rocks on the way back down and will have the bruises to show for quite a few days I’m sure. The view from the top is spectacular as any view from the top of a mountain is. Overall I found the hike incredibly unpleasant and can certainly understand why people get into some troubles. It can only be described as dangerous and unsafe. I can honestly say I’ll never do it again.

Challenging walk which took around an hour. Very uneven surfaces and unfortunately there is a real lack of signage or guidance, so it's easy to get a bit off the track.

This is at the highest point of the Island. Magnificent view. Quite crowded as this is a popular tourist spot. Large shopping plaza which is very clean with amenities. Worth the trip up!

Not easy to climb to the top, small rocks made you slippery, took more than 2 hours to return to the carpark but you will be rewarded by the excellent view

The climb up & down to Table Top is a real workout in itself. Once at the top, you are rewarded with a fantastic view across the valley and beyond. Climbing with children and able adults is perfect because at times it can get a little challenging on the way up & down, be careful. There's parking at the bottom of Table Top but NO toilets or you can park & walk from Picnic Point. If you don't want that much activity & don't want to climb, you can walk from the carpark at Picnic Point and walk the road down to the bottom of Table Top called the Camel's Hump which is a really nice walk but can be challenging on the way home. Allow yourself a few hours, preferably early morning & not too hot is the best time to climb. Late afternoon or early morning is best for just a walk to & from Table Top. Always take a phone incase of a mishap & don't climb really late in the afternoons. Wear comfortable clothes you can move in and closed-in shoes.

You can take the short walk fro the far eastern end of South street at about 2.5km. Or the long walk from Picnic Point about 11.5 km.
Be prepared for a rough, sometimes awkward scramble over rocks followed by a steady climb on the track before a steep ascent at the end. Don’t go if it’s wet. Take some water. At a steady pace it’s about 2 hour round trip. Once on top you are treated to excellent 360 degree views from the grassy knoll.

Was a steep rocky hike. Perhaps 30 mins each day, with an additional 30 mins on top to wander around and take in the views. Was very pretty up there. The hike itself could use a couple spots with some direction, and the road down could be slightly better finished. But otherwise an enjoyable time
