Mehi River Precinct (New South Wales) |
20 May, 2019 |
Easy |
3.6km return 75 mins |
|
| We are on a 8,500km road trip out to the red centre and this was one of the first places we stayed and the first walk of 33 logged. Great walk to stretch your legs and have a look around after a day's drive. | ||||

Mary Cairncross Reserve (Sunshine Coast) |
27 Apr, 2019 |
Very Easy |
2km return 1 hr |

Benarkin to Linville- Part of BVRT (Brisbane Valley Rail Trail) |
14 Apr, 2019 |
Medium |
18km one-way |
|
| A spare day while camping at Somerset lake, gave us the opportunity to take the family on our first stroll along the BVRT. Lovely sunny Sunday and although the little ones did not make it to the end and instead were driven up to Linville to meet us for lunch at the pub, it was a great morning's exercise. | ||||
|
Baxter Falls - Southern Approach (Kondalilla National Park) |
2 Apr, 2019 |
Medium |
7.6km return 3 hrs |
|
| It is almost two years to the day, since we walked to Baxter Falls from the north. Difficulty? About the same by my reckoning. With the recent storms, I was looking forward to more water over the falls, and I was not disappointed, but still able to rock hop across the creek for a better view. | ||||
|
Point Glorious (Mapleton National Park) |
25 Feb, 2019 |
Easy |
6.7km return 105 mins |
|
| Yep, the reward is in the views from the lookout, as the walk in was not very exciting, being just a gravel road. | ||||
|
Cooloolabin Dam (Sunshine Coast) |
25 Feb, 2019 |
Easy |
3.1km return 1 hr |
|
| Having just done Point Glorious, this walk was an easy option on the way out. Not a sole about, except for a few wild pigs heard squealing and snuffling in the undergrowth! Interesting that there is no restriction to stop you walking under the dam wall and slipway from the bottom of the car park. | ||||
|
Cooloolabin Conservation Park - Kiamba Rd Section. (Mapleton National Park) |
25 Feb, 2019 |
Easy |
300m return 15 mins |
|
| Not so much a walk, more a way of like, to visit this serene spot with its rock pools and cascading waters. | ||||
|
Wappa Falls (Mapleton National Park) |
25 Feb, 2019 |
Easy |
200m return 15 mins |
|
| With low water levels in the dam due to the dry weather, there was little to no water flowing, which was disappointing. | ||||
|
Komine Circuit (Parklands Conservation Park) |
18 Feb, 2019 |
Medium |
11km return 2.5 hrs |
|
| This was the most confusing walk and even with the map, I made a mistake, going straight out to the far side of the park, instead of turning right down Under Hill track. | ||||
|
Hell's Gates (Sunshine Coast) |
8 Feb, 2019 |
Easy |
5.4km return 90 mins |
|
|
Coobong Circuit (Parklands Conservation Park) |
4 Feb, 2019 |
Medium |
5.3km return 90 mins |
|
|
Lemon Tree Circuit (Parklands Conservation Park) |
4 Feb, 2019 |
Medium |
7.8km return 2 hrs |
|
| First ventured into the Parklands in 2017, so this was an opportunity to complete the rest of the walks. Lovely and peaceful, but can't say that I could get very excited about them. Despite what the information board says, there are no longer glimpses of the coast through the trees! | ||||
|
Mount Coolum (Sunshine Coast) |
3 Feb, 2019 |
Medium |
2.6km return 90 mins |
|
|
Ironbark Trail (Eumundi Conservation Park) |
29 Jan, 2019 |
Medium |
10.2km return 2 hrs |
|
| A valiant attempt to complete this walk, except that Council were working to improve the section below the Allandale Road Gate, where it often becomes boggy and impassable. | ||||
|
Blackbutt Trail (Eumundi Conservation Park) |
29 Jan, 2019 |
Easy |
4.7km return 75 mins |
|
| Two down, two to go in this quiet Conservation Park, over a couple of visits. Only ever met three people; one walking; one on a bike and another on a skate board. Actually did this walk twice, as I somehow managed to take a short cut the first time. | ||||
|
Geebung Circuit (Eumundi Conservation Park) |
29 Jan, 2019 |
Easy |
3.6km return 1 hr |
|
| Ticking off the last walk and I have to say I have enjoyed taking my time rambling around this Conservation Park. This last walk is the shortest and a fun one for the kids: get them to find the question mark. | ||||
|
Figbird Trail (Eumundi Conservation Park) |
25 Jan, 2019 |
Easy |
4.3km return 1 hr |
|
| My first venture into this Conservation Park and initially a little confused by the map signage. Turns out that the rule is; 'if there is no sign, carry straight on, on the main track'! Very strange bird calls from out the back; maybe the elusive Figbird? | ||||
|
Lagoon Walk (Sunshine Coast) |
22 Jan, 2019 |
Easy |
1.6km return 1 hr |
|
|
Yul-yan-man Track (Glass House Mountains National Park) |
21 Jan, 2019 |
Hard |
8km return 4 hrs |
|
| The word Yul-yan-man in the Kabi Kabi language means 'to walk slowly' and that is exactly what you have to do on this walk. The terrain is rough, the track narrow and the views you just have to stop and admire. A new local walk for me, but its return distance and 31° January heat took its toll. |

|
Mount Beerwah Summit (Glass House Mountains National Park) |
12 Jan, 2019 |
Very Hard |
2.9km return 3 hrs |
|
| I did it at last! '√' Several years of looking at this monster and even going to its base a couple of times, have finally been overcome, with a fantastic climb on a beautiful day. This is not for the fainthearted, unfit or ill prepared. It took us 1hr 45m up, but the fun weeeeeee 'crab crawl' down took just 45m. | ||||
