Mount Jim Crow

Just thought that I might add a little to this story. It has been many years since I first climbed Mt Jim Crow with a group of Boy Scouts; the 10th. Rockhampton group. There was a trig point on the top and a heap of stones with a glass bottle and screw top lid fitted between the stones. Messages could left for future climbers. I wonder if it is still there. I remember arriving at the trig point one morning just after sun-rise. There was fog all around and only the tops of mountains like Iron Pot and Mt. wheeler etc. could be seen. They looked like small islands standing in a sea of white water; a very beautiful sight. An exhausting climb but well worth the effort. Jimlin

Mount Jim Crow is a trachyte plug that lies between Rockhampton and Yeppoon, Australia. Standing at approximately 150 m above the surrounding plains (221 m above sea level), Mount Jim Crow affords a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. Mount Wheeler can be seen to the southeast, while many other trachyte formations can be seen to the north and west.

Well covered by trees and scrub, Mount Jim Crow offers a number of hiking trails which range from easy walking to more difficult climbing. The surface consists mostly of broken shale rock. There are several small but sheer cliffs, mostly on the southeastern face, which can be clearly seen from the Capricorn Highway.
