A short & easy self-guided walk on boardwalk through the Tamar Wetlands
Experience this 11.6-km loop trail through eucalypt forest along the Toowoomba escarpment. This is a popular trail for hiking, mountain biking, and trail running, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. Starting from the Grasstree Track trailhead at the bottom of Redwood Park, this challenging circuit combines tracks from Redwood Park and Jubilee Park.
This route features a decent incline that is sure to get the heart pumping! Can become quite muddy in places, especially after rain.
The trails that make up this loop are officially listed as Grade 3/Medium - Grade 4/Hard (steep inclines, loose/uneven surfaces + limited signage). This track is suitable for walkers/joggers with a moderate-high fitness level.
One of the most underated parts of the Japanese alps. The central alps is unbelieviably beautiful, if someone blindfolded you and told you were somewhere in Europe, it would be entirely believable. The hike is very straight forward, it can be combined with a multiday hike and other nearby peaks such as Houkendake.
From the Fraser Park amphitheatre, stroll through open forest to Grasstree lookout. Catch panoramas of the Fitzroy River along the way. Enjoy views of the three peaks of Mount Badger, Sleipner and Berserker from the lookout.
From Nurim summit, the Zamia walk winds down through a landscape of lemon-scented gums, pink bloodwoods and forest she-oaks to Sleipner. On the way, enjoy the cool sea breeze off the Capricorn Coast and a glimpse of the Fitzroy River. From Sleipner there are panoramas of Waaruin (the Berserker Range) on offer. Remember, the return walk to Nurim summit is uphill and can be a challenge.
Visit the swamplands and marvel at the contrast of hardy banksia leaves against tiny-leaved wet heaths and swamp ferns.
From the top lookout enjoy uninterrupted coastal views to the north and south. Take a short stroll further along the headland to enjoy a more sheltered lookout to the Keppel Islands group.
Walk down to Little Five Rocks Beach. Depending on the tide you can continue onto the Five Rocks Headland.
