The Hydro walk begins in town, before veering off to the left where it proceeds to follow a route parallel to the road leading out of town; past the new Town Bore, crossing the road leading into the Aerodrome and finishing at the Hydro Power Plant Display. This is rather an interesting place to view.
Many trees, shrubs and plants along the walk have identification plaques.
This is a stroll along the Moonie River right opposite the Nindigully Pub. It features a nice path with plenty signs in relation to local history and wildlife.
Fairly easy hike to the lookout when leaving the car at the scenic drive and walk further up. Has some nice views of the town of Springsure
From the car park a fairly level track leads to two viewing platforms that look south to Virgin Rock on Mount Zamia and the Springsure township, and north to the rich farming country beyond Eclipse Gap.
Enjoy a challenging part of the Sunshine Coast Coastal Pathway, as it winds above cliffs and round Caloundra Head, with fantastic views of the Glass House Mountains, Bribie and Moreton Islands to the south and to the north the beach all the way to Point Cartwright, with Mount Coolum in the distance.
A walk to a lookout overlooking the Whitsundays and Airlie Beach
About an hour west of Hamilton lies the extinct Volcano known as Mt Karioi. The track starts off fairly steep through grassland and then thick forest on a very well marked track. Upon reaching the ridgeline you are greeted with excellent views that only get better the higher you go. After the initial climb the walk is fairly undulating until you reach the summit. There are a few ladders/stairs/near vertical ascents where you have the aid of a series of chains but nothing too challenging. The track, though well marked, gets very muddy, so if you decide to attempt this after wet weather be prepared to wreck the clothes you're wearing because you almost certainly will slip at some point. There is a helipad at the very top with 320 degree views out to the Raglan Harbour and beyond.
Active Stratovolcano located just east of New Plymouth on the North Island of New Zealand. 2nd highest mountain on the north island and was used as the backdrop in the film 'The Last Samurai' due to its similarity to Mt Fuji. You can see it all the way from the Tongariro Alpine Crossing on a clear day! It should only be climbed in summer unless you have proper mountaineering experience, even then expect it to be snow/ice capped. An excellent and challenging walk to the summit with a bit of everything - scree/hiking/scrambling/crossing ice plains.
