We have taken the kids up here a couple of times and they just love rolling down the sand and it provided a great and energetic alternative to the beach. | ||||

Has to be one of my favs as it's not so rugged and view is fantastic. Easy for the kids and great for training. 30min up and back at a steady jog. | ||||

Perfect for a quick walk. Look out for snakes; had a lovely visit from a red belly black! Great for a picnic at the top and perfect if you have a pram. Takes 15min to the top and view of the Glasshouse Mountains is amazing!!! | ||||

Walked the trail from bottom and top. Refreshing skinny dip (!!) at Alexandria Beach before getting to Hells Gates. Well worth the walk and amazing in the summer time. | ||||
Josephine Falls (Wooroonooran National Park) |
13 Oct, 2013 |
![]() Easy |
1.6km return 1 hr |
|
A very popular area and very cool at 800m. There is a 100m drop from the top to bottom pools. The family were only brave enough to swim around the pools, where as others were sliding down the rock faces into the water. Watch out for the March Flies around here, they take huge chunks out of you! |

Wineglass Bay (Freycinet National Park) |

6.6km return 3 hrs |
|
This is a 'bucket list' item. When in Tasmania, walk the sands of Wineglass Bay and swim in the pristine waters. What I had not realised, was that other than by boat, you can only walk in! But that 5km trek was worth the effort. Half way there on the crest of the hill is the 'kodak' moment with awesome views of the bay and peninsula laid out below you. |

Last day on the island and time to drop down to a secluded Blinky Beach for a swim via Transit Hill and back, as I needed some light exercise having climbed Mt Gower yesterday. | ||||
Mt Gower (Lord Howe Island) |

This is a leg killer, so leave this one till the end of your stay, or be prepared to lie on the beach for two days recovering! | ||||
Goat House Cave (Lord Howe Island) |

You can't climb to the top of Mt Lidgbird, but this is the next best thing, as the mountain towers above you for a further 350m. As with all the walks on the island, the views are stupendous. | ||||
Mutton Bird Point and Boat Harbour (Lord Howe Island) |
9 Apr, 2010 |
![]() Medium |
7.1km return 3 hrs |
|
Time to explore the southern end of the island today and was really not sure where this track would lead. In the end, it was a very scenic walk along the cliff top to Mutton Bird Point and then on down through the rainforest to Boat Harbour, returning via Intermediate Hill and back to where I left my bike. | ||||

Well this one got my heart racing! 250m climb over 1km. Get to the top and the views are well worth all that effort. | ||||

My first day out around the northern part of this island paradise and what a fantastic way to start, given the exquisite scenery and the full perspective you get from the top. | ||||

It might have been 11 years from doing this walk and posting it, but my recollection of the prolific birdlife is still fresh as ever. | ||||

Reminded the other day of a 2009 trip here for a couple of nights stay at the 'resort' and took a afternoon stole down to the Wishing Tree, Mick's Tower and Glow Worm Gully and think I might have returned via Red Road. | ||||

I am surprised that after 15 years since I first visited this iconic venue, nobody has ever recoded it. | ||||

31 May, 2009 |
![]() Easy |
815m return 30 mins |

Another walk first completed in 2009 and then again in 2024 that has never been recorded. Well worth the 25m climb down to look through the water filled grotto and the ocean 10m further below. |
