| I have walk through to the beach before, but not completed the whole circuit. At this time of year there was plenty of bird life. | ||||

| Oh what fun. Off with your shoes and socks, roll up your shorts and hold all your valuables above your head as you wade across the lake's exit. | ||||

Mount Coolum Powerline Track (Sunshine Coast) |
23 Aug, 2020 |
Hard |
1.6km return 90 mins |
|
| The eastern track to Mount Coolum Summit is now a little tame, although great for the kids, since they have paved and stepped most of it. So, time to switch to the far more challenging western track. Looks like it is being used on a regular basis, as it is now well defined. Easy to miss the entrance off the gravel track, so will 'pink flag tape' it next time out. | ||||

Medium |
2.8km return 2 hrs |

| Four years ago, this was a 'seldom walked track', but now, even on a Monday, five other cars were in the car park. The tracks are now more defined, where previously they were hard to find, although unfortunately, well worn and in some placed very dangerous, particularly taking the South Eastern route down. I even took time out to 'pink flag' this route to help future bushwalkers. | ||||

| Wow. One of the last mountains on the Sunshine Coast I still had to conquer and with the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions, I could get up there and enjoy the challenge. And yes, it was a challenge, all be it a very short one. I took the opportunity to 'pink ribbon' the route from the tree line up, which I hope will be helpful to fellow bushwalkers, as the track is not used a lot and certainly not well defined. Ah, but I spied another mountain, which I discovered was even higher: Mt Pinbarren. Now I have to work out how to climb it! |

Hooker Valley Track (South Island NZ) |
18 Mar, 2020 |
Medium |
10.3km return 3 hrs |
|
| This was one hell of a trek. The track is not hard, but the distance and time taken, having already done another walk in the morning was a little telling. But, add in the scenery, which was spectacular and you have it made. Took so so more photos. | ||||
|
Tasman Lake (South Island NZ) |
18 Mar, 2020 |
Easy |
2.9km return 1 hr |
|
| This was a double bonus, as I got to walk to Tasman Lake (which has only been formed since 1974) and then take a boat onto the lake and get up close and person with a glacier, before travelling up the lake to the glacier. | ||||
|
Kea Point (South Island NZ) |
17 Mar, 2020 |
Easy |
3.2km return 75 mins |
|
| The morning drive up Lake Pukaki to Mount Cook was fantastic, so the afternoon walk up to Kea Point was a bonus as we got in under Mount Sefton. The crack and then rumbling of avalanches from high up on the mountain was a little scary however. I was so taken in by the scenery, I can't remember much about the actual walk! | ||||
