Somerset Trail
D'Aguilar National Park
A pleasant circular walk through open and pine forest as well as pockets of rainforest. At around the halfway point, there are a series of lookouts over Somerset Dam to the north and Lake Wivenhoe to the south, with a backdrop of the far mountain ranges.
This area was heavily logged, hence the saw mill at The Gantry and evident by the 'plank' groves on some of the old tree stumps.

Mt Miketeebumulgrai
Glass House Mountains National Park
Mt. Mike as it is known is twice as tall as its neighbour Mt Elimbah with a fast but steep ascent through eucalypt forest nested on scree and leaf litter-covered slopes. The views from the top are not great but what can be seen is the extensive horticulture on the plains below, particularly of strawberries and pineapples.

Sandy Creek Circuit
Tamborine National Park
This walk features lush rainforest with towering trees emerging through the canopy and at the falls, eucalypt forest. It follows Sandy Creek out to the western lookout of Cameron Falls, where on a clear day you can enjoy views across the valley to Mount Flinders and the southern suburbs of Brisbane.
This Track travels close to steep cliff edges, so stay on the designated track and behind the fences.
The falls are aligned such that under the correct conditions a rainbow will appear. It has been seen in the afternoon in late July.
Easy and accessible for kids.
