Piper Comanche Plane Wreck (2 March 1977)

The Piper Comanche Plane Wreck is a historical site located within the D'Aguilar National Park near Camp Mountain. This site marks the location where a light aircraft crashed in March 1977, with much of the fuselage and engine components still visible today. Visitors access the site via a demanding trail that requires physical fitness and navigation skills through dense vegetation. The wreckage serves as a memorial and a point of interest for those exploring the rugged terrain of the Moreton Bay Region. Located a short distance from the Jollys Lookout landmark, the crash site offers a somber glimpse into local aviation history. The trail leading to the wreckage is not officially maintained, meaning hikers must exercise caution and respect the environmental significance of the area. As the site is situated on a steep slope, it provides a unique destination for experienced hikers seeking a more technical challenge compared to the standard walking tracks in the surrounding mountain ranges.
