Kenilworth Bluff - Wilcox Family Park Trail (Sunshine Coast)	19 Mar, 2017	Hard	6km return 4.5 hrs
We did our research before this walk, but found that it was very inaccurate as regards time and distance (a lot longer!), so have edited the walk accordingly. The weather was not our friend today with heavy rain at times, so we had to abandon the walk at the bottom of the final climb up the cliff to the plateau for safety reasons. We will be back later in the year when it is cooler and drier, at which point we will complete the GPS track as well as the final part of the route/trail notes.
Mount Coolum (Sunshine Coast)	13 Mar, 2017	Medium	2.6km return 90 mins
Emu Mountain (Mt. Peregian) (Sunshine Coast)	13 Mar, 2017	Easy	1.6km return 1 hr
Mary Cairncross Reserve (Sunshine Coast)	12 Mar, 2017	Very Easy	2km return 1 hr
Wild Horse Mountain (Glass House Mountains National Park)	7 Mar, 2017	Medium	1.4km return 30 mins
Mt Ngungun (Glass House Mountains National Park)	7 Mar, 2017	Medium	2.8km return 90 mins
Usually, we do not 'comment' when we revisit a climb, but today was a little different, as it was the third and last of the day's challenge. We had already redone Wild Horse Mountain and burned our leg muscles on Beerburrum, so this was a great way to finish.
Mount Beerburrum (Glass House Mountains National Park)	7 Mar, 2017	Medium	3.5km return 90 mins
Mt Cooroora (Sunshine Coast)	6 Mar, 2017	Hard	2.6km return 2.5 hrs
Don't usually comment on repeat climbs, but this was different. We got my three and half year old granddaughter up and back with no winging! Pushed her bum up over the steps going up and she abseiled down the chains like a monkey.
Dularcha NP - Roses Circuit (Sunshine Coast)	28 Feb, 2017	Medium	8.1km return 2.5 hrs
I did this trail from the northern entrance in a clockwise direction and had I not had a copy of the map with me, once I left the main Tunnel Track, I would never have stayed on the correct route.
Dularcha NP - Tunnel Track (Sunshine Coast)	28 Feb, 2017	Easy	6.6km return 2 hrs
This was a reci to find another family friendly walk/cycle trail. With the pretty much flat terrain and the interest of the tunnel, this track achieves just that.
Coobong Circuit (Parklands Conservation Park)	21 Feb, 2017	Medium	5.3km return 90 mins
We must be crazy! Decided to 'run' this circuit as a training exercise, rather than the Rocky Creek circuit used by Parkrun. There are some steep sections that we had to revert to walking, but the down hills were great fun. Think I lost a kg in weight.
Ewen Maddock Dam - Trail 1 (Sunshine Coast)	20 Feb, 2017	Easy	13.4km return 4 hrs
Boronia Trail (Mooloolah River National Park)	17 Feb, 2017	Easy	4.2km return 2 hrs
Close to home (and Anaconda!), this is an area we had not previously visited. Originally described as 'wheelchair friendly', it was obviously not, unless you had sand tyres: (I have changed it to 'Easy'). There are very few highlights, except for the occasional goanna, but a good trail for a bit of exercise. There was also a sign for the Robur Fire Trail at the start, but not investigated, but presume that it follows the edge of the NP to the river?

Maroochy Wetland Conservation Park (Sunshine Coast)	17 Feb, 2017	Very Easy	2km return 1 hr
This popped up on Instagram #visitsunshinecoast, so, as it just down the road, I thought I had better go check it out as a 'new' walk.
Mary Cairncross Reserve (Sunshine Coast)	13 Feb, 2017	Very Easy	2km return 1 hr
This is a favourite place for our extended family and is now our fifth visit. It will be great when the new Visitor Centre & Café shortly open and also some new Boardwalk.
Tibrogargan Circuit (Glass House Mountains National Park)	7 Feb, 2017	Easy	3.3km return 90 mins
We thought that we would take it easy on our first Bushwalk of the new season, having had three months out due to injury and 'the heat'. Yep, we don't climb mountains at this time of year in South East Queensland! We included the Trachyte Circuit on the walk and given that it was a scorching hot day we were pretty 'bushed' by the end.
Trachyte Circuit (Glass House Mountains National Park)	7 Feb, 2017	Medium	5.9km return 2 hrs

Yep, we don't climb mountains at this time of year in South East Queensland! It was great to see that National Park staff were out strimming the paths to make them more clearly defined, as directions were a little unclear when crossing fire trails.
