Granite Arch (Girraween National Park) |
10 Feb, 2022 |
Easy |
1.7km return 30 mins |
|
| Completed the Northern circuit walks today. Started out towards the Pyramid. My husband wasn’t keen so I went on alone but after getting a third of the way up the last rock face I decided it wasn’t for me. I have made the summit many years ago and didn’t enjoy it. It’s not the height but the severe fear of falling backwards that takes away all enjoyment on these types of rock faces. Very achievable physically for moderate fitness though. The walk to the Junction and remainder of the bald creek circuit is stunning and highly recommended. Easy walking and just amazing scenery. | ||||

Quart Pot Creek Trails (Darling Downs South West) |
9 Feb, 2022 |
Easy |
5km return 1 hr |
|
| This is a delightful walk along the creek. We started in Folkestone Street and went left from the carpark if facing the creek. This took us down to red bridge and the more untamed part of the creek and along a rough track called Sean’s walk before retracing our steps and crossing the creek before heading in the other direction. Great way to stretch the legs after the drive from Brisbane. | ||||

Nerang State Forest Centre Road (South East Queensland) |
5 Feb, 2022 |
Medium |
10.6km return 3 hrs |
|
| Nothing to see, typical Aussie bush but enough hills to keep the average fitness level happy with a moderate workout. | ||||

South Nobby Headland (Gold Coast) |
4 Feb, 2022 |
Easy |
800m return 40 mins |
|
| Walked 12km return from Broadbeach along the coastal pathway and climbed the stairs at the headland before making this our turn around point for the day. Beautiful spot. | ||||

Blackfellow Creek Glen Rock (South East Queensland) |
26 Jan, 2022 |
Easy |
16km return 4 hrs |
|
| This was a really lovely walk. The distance is long enough to stretch your legs and give you a few hours on the trail but its flat so easy. Multiple creek crossings to wear older shoes or be prepared to take them off repeatedly. The creeks were running well up to about knee height but easy to cross and so pretty. It was overcast and raining on and off so not too hot but a very exposed walk so could get really hot on a clear summer’s day. | ||||

Pardalote Walk (Toowoomba) |
15 Jan, 2022 |
Easy |
1.9km one-way 1 hr |
|
| This was an enjoyable walk along the range with stunning views for most of the walk. Small hill on the way back but overall a pretty walk with nice breezes even in the heat of summer. | ||||

Mount Wongawallan (Gold Coast) |
29 Dec, 2021 |
Medium |
1.4km return 30 mins |
|
| We took the 4km option from Crystal Creek Road. It’s naturally uphill all the way but not ridiculously steep and easy to come back down. Lovely Australian Bush and we had it all to ourselves which is always nice. | ||||
|
Phil Hill Environmental Park (Jabiru Island Walk) (Gold Coast) |
28 Dec, 2021 |
Very Easy |
500m return 15 mins |
|
| We did this walk by starting at the paradise point shopping area and walking up to Jabiru Island. 5km return trip and just added a bit extra to the walk. This section is lovely but short. | ||||
|
Applegum Walk and Hartmanns Park Circuit (South East Queensland) |
11 Dec, 2021 |
Medium |
3.74km return 1 hr |
|
| This was an unexpectedly lovely walk beside the creek. A little boggy in places but the creek was full and flowing. Wouldn’t be suitable after days of heavy rain as the area clearly floods. | ||||
|
Crows Nest Falls Circuit (Crows Nest National Park) |
11 Dec, 2021 |
Medium |
4.5km return 2 hrs |
|
| I haven’t been to Crows Nest for over 10 years but used to visit regularly when I lived in Toowoomba and I haven’t seen it flowing as fast and full as it at the moment. The valley of Diamonds had a beautiful flowing creek through the gorge. Mosquitos were prehistoric size however so use insect repellant. | ||||

Cormorant Bay Loop (Wivenhoe Dam) (South East Queensland) |
13 Nov, 2021 |
Easy |
3.5km return 45 mins |
|
| Nice easy walk with no steep hills which is unusual for a dam walk. Great views of the water for at least half of the walk and then more filtered views for the rest. I measured just under 3km so a short walk. | ||||

31 Oct, 2021 |

| This section is a little more up and down than the others but nothing steep. Lovely section along the edge of the cliff with never ending views. Loved this section of the top track. | ||||

30 Oct, 2021 |
Easy |

| Completed as part of the walk from Paradise to Cherry Plain. Nice Walk. This section particularly is quite flat. We did the return journey along the national park path rather than the road because it was such an easy walk | ||||
