Mt. Myogi 妙義山 (Gunma Prefecture)
Mt. Myogi offers a thrilling hike with long sections of scrambling. It is not for the faint hearted but the views are spectacular. Although not one of the 100 famous mountains, it honestly should be as its shape is iconic and offers a hiking experience unlike any other.

Bayview Conservation Area - Birdcage trail
An easy 1900m walk that is one of the many trails through the Bayview Conservation Area. Glimpses of the ever-growing suburbia nearby at times but feels like a million miles away. Narrow track winds through natural bushland with many native grass trees, commonly known as 'black boys'. Can loop around and head back along the wider fire trail that joins Birdcage or join another track and walk for much longer. This trail starts at the Kidd Street entrance, Redland Bay.

Buderim Forest Park
This is a 45 hectare secluded oasis, hidden on the northern side of Buderim, less than a kilometre from the Buderim Village. This is a rainforest world of tall trees, ferns, babbling waterfalls, cascades and bird calls.
The area was purchased many years ago by the Council as a reserve for all of Buderim.
Amazingly much of the creek actually belongs to private land owners as once did the waterfall! The falls were a favourite recreational place for the region’s indigenous people and have been unofficially named “Serenity Falls”, but are widely known as the Buderim Falls.
