Cormorant Bay Loop (Wivenhoe Dam)
South East Queensland
A 3.5km circuit commencing at a locked gate in the carpark area of Cormorant Bay, Wivenhoe Dam, just south of the dam wall. Drive past the old cafe and around the one-way road watching for the gate on your left. The lower track meanders along the lake, but not on the shore line, with views across the water, then a slight incline leads to a ridge which in turn leads back to the gate. The area is alive with birdlife. Some vegetation is still recovering from a bushfire. There are a couple of sections of pebbles which could be slippery. This is an easy walk suitable for all. Takes about 45 minutes.

Mount Bippo Penbean
North Stradbroke Island - Minjeeribah
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.
This is pronounced Bib-boo bee-yan, meaning mountainous country in Jandai language (Quandamooka)

The unusual soil type in this area promotes short grasses and sedge's that give a parkland type appearance.

This area is known for a good diversity of bird species best heard or seen early morning or late afternoon.
