"Wilsons Peak was straightforward and has been comprehensively described by other trip reports.
The steep part at Mt Clunie from around 820m to 980m elevation was a nightmare of native raspberry vine thickets and various other spikey plants interspersed with gympie gympie and stinging nettle, all on loose volcanic soil that made footing slippery. There was a faint footpad to follow most of the way up but with very low traffic on the Mt Clunie trail, the raspberry thickets were abundant and slowed our pace enormously by grabbed clothing like a kind of sinister velcro that also scratched your skin, making me wish I had some hedging shears with me. 980m elevation marked the edge of where the 2019 bushfire reached and the hike was comparatively straightforward afterwards, a similar kind of rainforest walking along the border fence to Wilsons Peak. Right before the summit, around 1030m elevation, was an enormous thicket of raspberry vines so thick which we had to circumvent them by bush bashing through the jungle to the summit. There was space for a 4-man tent at the top but barely any view through the canopy.
On the way back from Mt Clunie, we went to explore the top of Watson Cr..." — jameshohl • Jan 2, 2023
"Led 11 members of Meetup group Happy Hikers up Mt Clunie. Total time was about 4.5 hours and we took our time. Started from Boonah Border Gate and followed the rabbit fence out and back. Very steep climb to the summit." — donizen • Jul 8, 2018
"Followed rabbit fence from about 900 m south of the Boonah Border Gate. Very steep section from 800 m to 1000 m elevation. Fortunately the rbbit fence is there to hang on to. Also quite thick undergrowth in some areas and lots of nettles. Suggest long sleeves and long pants, and also gloves. I wore metal mesh gloves. Navigation is easy as you just follow the rabbit fence right to the top, where you will see the ubiqitous cairn of rocks about 1 m high. Also a little clearing at the summit." — donizen • Jul 22, 2017
