  Bare Rock + Morgan's Walk

   (Main Range National Park - 13km)
  Great Afternoon walk, taking in Mt Cordeaux an then out to Bare Rock...had lunch and lazed in the sun,enjoying the views... walk through the heath to the other side and take in the views of NSW to the south...decided nt to take Morgans Walk as the views are mainly Obscured by trees

  Wilson's Peak

   (Main Range National Park - 12km)
  What a great walk!, And one of the most memorable, the lichen blowing in the rainforest trees, the low cloud cover and with it threating to rain made this a mystical experience, and to see what looked like a hugh rock monolith sticking out of the ground before you,and its top shrouded in mist/cloud was sheer magic and brought a smile to my face after enduring those steep ascents along the rabbit fence...the view from the top was just cloud..and the cairn of rocks has a small tree growing out of it and is nearly covered...what a fantastic afternoon, coming back down didnt seem to take long...except for the last stretch which was completed in the dark, rain and cold

  Morans Falls

   (Lamington National Park - 4.6km)
  Ive done this walk a number of times, but now include it as a extended walk by going in via the border track then out to the old loggers camp out to orchid grotto then along the cliff line to moonlight crag and balancing rock then walk back around the road to the track that leads to the top of moran falls, walk out along the creek to reach the top of the falls, then walk back to the track and continue to see the best views of the falls follow the track to complete then walk back to the road, then a short walk back up to the car park

  Mount Tibrogargan Summit

   (Sunshine Coast - 3km)
  Quick walk and scramble, awesome views, after doing Mt Barney 2 days earlier was a walk in the park...still need some sought of scrambling skills, be relatively fit and not be scared of heights...im sure this is a different route to what i did in 2005

  South East Ridge Ascent Peasants Ridge Descent

   (Mt Barney National Park - 17km)
  Great way to spend easter friday, but went up peasents an down, it was a gruelling 10hr non stop walk/scramble to the summit where we spent 15minutes and took some photos, got down to the road out just on dark, glad we were prepared and had head lamps, 4 more kms to go in our wet socks and shoes, but loved every minute of this long day

  Gwongoorool Rock Pools

   (Binna Burra - 6km)
  Did this walk after heavy rainfall, at some spots there was water flowing onto the track like mini waterfalls, half way down to the pool there was a massive land/mud slide, we had to climb up over it and find the track somewhere on the otherside, water flowed down the track most of the way, blue spiny crayfish hissed and snapped at us along the track, the pool was in full flow more like a raging torrent then a pool...
