Toolbrunup Peak

Directions - One of the easier peaks to access, from Chester Pass Rd find Toolbrunup Rd near the old Moingup Springs Campsite and follow it all the way to the car park at the end. The trail head is on the western side of the car park next to the information board.

The Hike - This is the hike I had been most looking forward to on this trip after reading about it on The Long Way's Better and hearing tales of pre-dawn hikes to the summit from a friend. After taking in both Mount Trio and Mount Hassell the previous day, the legs were feeling great as I woke up to the sunlight pouring into my tent at sunrise. I had spent the night at the wonderfully located Moingup Springs and after a night of being woken by the strong winds stirring the surrounding trees, I was happy to stay in my sleeping bag like a warm toasty burrito. I had set my alarm but this wasn't due for another hour (forgot I wasn't sleeping in a dark room and the sun would wake me) so I laid there enjoying the sounds of the birds before getting on with the day's hiking.
