Lowood to Coominya Rail Trail
This walk is part of the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, starts and finishes at the railway station. Coominya is a small town but has all services. A large and impressive rail bridge along the track but not accessible, a lower river crossing. The walk passes through farm lands so plenty of gates to open and shut but not a walk to complete in Summer months. The trail is well marked so maps are not required. Lowood is accessible after a turnoff at Fernvale which is situated on the Brisbane Valley Highway. Public amenities and car parking at both ends of the walk. No permits or costs for the walk.

Diamantina Boulevard to Borallon Station Road - Part of BVRT
10kms easy walking along the old Brisbane Valley Rail Trail. Passing old stations (or where they used to be, signs have been erected) of Muirlea, Pine Mountain and Borallon. Great for birdwatching. I would recommend for a winter walk - dappled shade, but would get very hot very quickly in summer.

Borallon Station Road to Fernvale - Part of BVRT
This is a nice part of the BVRT, the scenery changes quite a bit along the walk, bush track to farm land to open pasture looking out to the mountains. You'll need to do a quick crossing of the Brisbane Valley Highway, easy, but just keep your wits about you. Along the way you'll pass Wanora and Fairney View stations. Just after Fairney View is a lovely little creek where a bridge once crossed, a nice spot for a break. After this there is the slightest of inclines, but that incline continues all the way to Fernvale. But once there you've got a great excuse for a pie!

Lower Portals
This was my first overnight hike. It was challenging, but not ridiculous. A good beginners walk.
I highly recommend going for a dip in the creek even in Winter. It was like an ice bath for my tired muscles.
