From the Queen Mary Falls lookout, watch Spring Creek plunge over the 40m Queen Mary Falls to continue its twisting journey down the valley floor to join the Condamine River. On a summer's day take time to pause for a moment to feel the waterfall's cool spray.
There are often water dragons sunbaking on rocks around the valley floor and the track goes through plenty of ferns and native Australian trees.

Browns Falls

Located only 4.5 kms outside of Killarney in the Scenic Rim. The 15m waterfall requires a 700 metre walk along a rough track involving plenty of climbing over rocks and under fallen trees. It is definitely worth the trek.

A trail to the summit of Mt Warning offers beautiful 360 degree views of the Great Dividing Range from the peak. Lots of steps, can be slippery. A steep climb to the summit using chains, but the views from the top are worth it!

Daniels Lookout

This track winds up Boat Mountain then follows along the ridge at the top to offer sweeping views to the north.

There is a long man-made staircase of 180 steps at the beginning of this walk, but the upper section of the track is mostly flat and very easy to follow, with views that are well worth the effort.

Mt Cordeaux

Mt Cordeaux forms the Northern side of Cunningham's Gap. The track ends at a platform just below the main peak and is ideal for viewing South, down the length of Main Range National Park. There are also good views of the Moogerah Peaks, Mt Barney and North to the Mistake Mountains.

National Parks signage officially lists this walk as Grade 4 difficulty (most of the track is unsealed, with hazards such as tree roots/rocks, muddy sections and occasional tree-falls across the path). Walkers with a moderate level of fitness should find this a comfortable walk and be able to complete it in under the given timeframe.

Kinbombi Falls

Located next to a camping area with picnic and toilet facilities, the Kinbombi Falls walks are a network of 3 short tracks that descend into a deep gully containing a seasonally flowing creek/waterfall. The combined walks could be done in under an hour, but it is worth setting aside more time to enjoy and explore the gully.

Tracks 1 and 3 both have an unstable, unpaved section towards the bottom of the gully.

Lower Bellbird Circuit

This circuit branches off ship's stern 3.7 km from the trail head. It passes through a variety of habitat types and there are some impressive views. You can start from either just south of the information center (500 m) and walk clockwise or start at Binna Burra and walk anticlockwise. Either way, you'll be walking down or up 2.5km of road. A nice 3 km diversion is to go down to Lower Ballunjul Falls.

Mount Bippo Penbean

This is a relatively easy track on sand, although the last section up to the top of the viewing platform is quite steep and will get the heart rate up. It provides a good view over the National Park parts of the island and out towards the bay. Apparently on very clear days you can also see to NSW, the Sunshine coast and the Border Ranges. There are lots of banksias and grasstrees. Recommend that people do this in the early morning or late afternoon. Those scared of spiders should avoid as there are lots of spider webs across the pathway and it is difficult to see them in some light.

Signs say to allow 2 hours return. I completed this in 1 hour 35 minutes with a moderate fitness level.
