Sylvesters Lookout to HOLE-in-the-WALL (Main Range National Park)

Had a great time bushwhacking through from Sylvesters Lookout. The footpad was fairly easy to follow. We lost it a few times, but it was never too far away. Would definitely recommend having a map/ app with waypoints though, as the turnoff to Laidley Creek Remote Bush Camp was not obvious and we missed it initally and ended up further towards Mount Castle lookout.

When we did the hike the footpad was quite slippery, particularly descending the ridgeline after leaving the Scenic Rim Trail. I slipped over a couple of times on the wet muddy track.

Camped overnight at Laidley Creek Falls which was nice and clean. We had 3 tents setup and that was cosy. It would be a struggle to get any more than that up there.

We didn't actually make it to hole-in-the-wall after attempting both the razorback ridge and the route below Laidley Creek falls. The razorback ridge had a 3-4m high climbing section right next to a much higher cliff. Myself and another were able to get down and back but it felt too sketchy to get the others in our group down the climb. We then went back around underneath the waterfall, but the rocks were as slippery as ice as there was a trickle of water flowing. The base of the falls is maybe 3m wide but on top of another cliff, so edging along the wet rocks hardly seemed worth it. Even so, it was an awesome place to explore.

Took 75 minutes to hike back to Sylvesters from the camp with our packs.
