It’s generally a good idea to take water with you, and let someone know where you’re going, preferably Reception Staff.
Also remember that the island is a National Park, therefore, the entire area is protected, and nothing should be harmed or removed.
SPION KOP WALK (3.5KM - ONE WAY)
The track begins near the first green on the golf course. Looking across the course, you can see your destination: the summit of Spion Kop.
Initially, the track passes through open eucalypt forest, before heading into rainforest. Entering the rainforest area, a colony of fruit bats (flying foxes) can usually be seen hanging from the branches on the left side of the track. You will most likely hear the squealing and chattering noises before you actually see the bats.
The track next winds it’s way to the ‘saddle’, a ridge where the other side of the island can be seen through open grassland dotted with native grass trees, and shrubs growing at an angle due to the prevailing south-easterly trade winds. This open grassland was utilised by the first settler on South Molle Island, Henry Lamond, to graze his sheep and cattle.
From the saddle many other islands are visible, including Mid Molle, North Molle, Hayman and Hook Islands to the north. Toward the south, Whitsunday, Hamilton and Dent Islands are in view.
Turning left at the saddle the track traverses the eastern side of the island and crosses an area of shattered rock on the hillside. This is a naturally occuring volcanic rock quarry which was often visited by the Aboriginals, and used to make weapons and tools. In fact, the Aboriginal name for South Molle was ‘Whyrriba”. meaning stone axe.The track continues to ascend through another section of forest, on to the summit, where a panoramic view of all the islands in the area can be seen. Spion Kop is actually a Dutch/Afrikaans word meaning “Spying Head” or “Lookout”, named by the Bauer family, who had a South African background.
