A fun hike with plenty of creek crossings. I would suggest going clockwise, as we went the opposite and spent the last 3km going up hill which is pretty tiring after trekking 14km.
The track could be difficult to spot in some places where it was overgrown and there were no markers but a lot of it is marked and we only spent maybe an extra hour finding our way back to the path or navigating creek crossings.
All up it took 8 hours with maybe 30-40 minutes of that resting.
We came across two leeches and a small snake during the walk and another couple we passed said they saw two red belly black snakes but we all survived.
All in all a great hike albeit more epic than expected :)

Nice walk to the pools along the Illinbah circuit. Pools were fun and very refreshing. The water was freezing so we couldn't stay in for long but it would be perfect of a hotter day! Pretty steep climb back to the carpark and you'll be wishing you could take a dip once back at the top :p
Only encountered what may have been a leech in the creek. It could have been bark though haha.
