Access, closures, permits & safety

Access

Enter the Mount French section of Moogerah Peaks National Park and use the official Mount French and Frog Buttress map to reach the northern-facing Frog Buttress cliff line. Stay on formed tracks and prepare climbing equipment in a safe area away from cliff edges.

Parking

Use the designated Mount French car park beside the vehicle-based camping area. Frog Buttress camping is close to the walking tracks and day-use area; camping is limited, requires a permit and should be booked in advance.

Permits & access rules

There were no current park alerts when the official pages were checked on 3 August 2026. QPWS has no approved anchors or bolts here, and installing, replacing or modifying fixed protection without written authority is prohibited.

Safety

Frog Buttress is suitable only for experienced, well-equipped climbers or people under their direct supervision. Existing bolts and anchors are used at your own risk; avoid wet-weather climbing, rockfall exposure and solo climbing, and carry emergency communication and first aid.

Closures and permit rules can change without notice. Recheck the official land manager before departure.
