Buaraba Creek Track
Ravensbourne National Park
This walk is an extension off Palm Creek Circuit in Ravensbourne National Park, travelling downhill to Bauraba Creek. Bauraba Creek is a small stream with Piccabeen Palms over the other side. It is spring-fed so the water is quite shallow, but it's also cool and fresh - a great shady spot to rest before the walk back to the car.
Officially listed as Grade 4/Hard difficulty (includes rough surfaces, some steep stairs + occasionally overgrown), this track is suitable for walkers with a moderate fitness level.

Mount Moon
South East Queensland
Mount Moon near Mount Alford is on private property (you can ask for permission to climb it) near Mt Greville. I took the difficult (not defined) route up, through lots of lantana (as tall as myself) in which I got severely tangled. Lots of scratches to show for it at the end. My first really hard bushwalk.
