Southern Glass House Mountain just off Old Gympie Road, Elimbah. Land is council reserve.
Straight up the west peak. The track is a goat track at best. There is the occasional piece of tape in a tree. You probably will get lost. But its not that hard to find your way. One tip is at the big rock face, aim towards the left end (south but not to south as there is a very big cliff). Also a good idea to take a compass bearing on the way up, as white outs are common up here.
The summit is scrubby, with a pile of rocks to mark the highest spot on Mt Barney (its higher than east peak). Head to the the northern end of the peak for amazing views to the north and west.
Even if you dont intend on climbing the whole way up. Do yourself a favour and go a little way, as the veiw up East peak is amazing. Totally different aspect of this incredible mountain.
A beautiful coastal track from Noosa National Park H.Q. to Sunshine Beach Surf Club. Via Hells Gates and Alexandria Bay nudie beach!
It was very windy but the view was just so beautiful !
For a memorable day out in famous Blue Mountains National Park that takes in renowned views, try the easy walking track from Echo Point lookout to Scenic World via Giant Stairway. Pack a picnic and round up the family for a day of magnificent sights, fresh mountain air and unique history on this iconic walk.
Gaze at the scenic vista before descending the valley via the 800-plus steel and stone steps, originally constructed in 1909. Marvel at the fabulous Three Sisters from the ground up. From here it’s an easy stroll along Federal Pass to Katoomba Falls.
Arriving at Scenic World, you might be tempted to ride the historic Scenic Railway to the cliff top. Originally built in the 1880s to carry coal, it’s the steepest railway of its kind in the world and tilts at a whopping 52 degrees. Just remember, the last train up is at 4.50pm, so give yourself plenty of time to reach the station.

10 Mile Brook Trail is a pleasant walk or cycle out to 10 Mile Brook Dam, named after the tiny brook that was dammed in the mid-1990s to create a new supply of water for the quickly growing Margaret River and other townships.
An easy walk for families, with panoramic views of the Derwent River throughout the length of the walk. Park at the end of Geilston Bay Road. The track is well signposted, with directional and heritage information signs throughout. The track is mostly flat but slightly undulating at the start with a short but fairly steep descent to Shag Bay at the end. The last part is within the East Risdon Nature Reserve. All flora and fauna are protected and dogs are prohibited. This area is also rich in Aboriginal history.
Follow the heritage walk signposts from Geilston Bay to the southern side of Shag Bay and a sign titled 'The Midden'. Continue from the sign to the Aboriginal quarry and the Shag Bay foreshore, then up a short slope above the old boiler to the quarry. The boiler is part of the remains of an early 20th century bone mill.
Take the Lenah Valley Track from The Springs for just over 1km. Sphinx Rock is signposted on the right.
