Mount Bartle Frere, known to the Ngajanji people as Choorechillum, is Queensland’s highest mountain at 1,622 metres. Rising from the Bellenden Ker Range in Wooroonooran National Park, its slopes are cloaked in dense tropical rainforest that supports diverse plants and wildlife. On clear days, the summit offers sweeping views from the Atherton Tablelands to the coast, though conditions are often wet and cloud‑covered. Its rugged terrain and high rainfall contribute to the mountain’s reputation as one of Australia’s more demanding tropical ascents.
