Granite Arch (Girraween National Park)	11 Jul, 2021	Easy	1.7km return 30 mins
Very easy walk, gently uphill. If you only have an hour or so this is a beautiful option. Plenty of beautiful rock formations and creeks flowing.
The Junction (Girraween National Park)	11 Jul, 2021	Easy	5.6km return 90 mins
Gentle walk, but rocks can be slippery at The Junction. Seemed to take a bit longer to get out there than expected. Beautiful after some rain, very peaceful. Some people were going swimming, a bit too nippy for my liking.
Mount Blaine (Ipswich - Flinders Goolman Conservation Estate)	9 May, 2020	Hard	2.5km 2 hrs
Great hike. As others have said, golden orb spiders everywhere, but also heaps of beautiful wrens on the fire trails and whip birds as you ascend. Mount Catherine is a worthwhile side trip of about 15 minutes. From here is a great view to Blaine, got me pumped to keep going. I headed up the northface, very scrambly lots of leg work. Not many spots to stop and enjoy the view. Beautiful views of Flinders from the top. Check out the geocache on top. Headed down the southern face which I think is marginally easier, though I got a bit lost towards the very end, think a couple of new tags/markers are in order. Loved the hike, preferred this over Flinders.
Flinders Peak (Ipswich - Flinders Goolman Conservation Estate)	1 Feb, 2020	Hard	6.5km return 3.5 hrs
This was harder than I anticipated. The first section is dry and a little dull, not much to see for the first 20 mins or so. Then the boulder climbing starts, this was my favourite section, but not a place you can get any speed up, I think that's what I found frustrating about the hike. Plenty of scrambling and beautiful views the higher you get. Ye with little legs, be warned. It took me alot longer than I'd thought, but I'm not particularly fit. Plenty of food and water is a MUST.
White Rock Ridge Hike (White Rock - Spring Mountain Conservation Estate)	Jan, 2020	Medium	6.5km 2 hrs
I really enjoy this little hike. Unfortunately now being located right next to an estate ALOT of people use the tracks. Can we challenging to find a quiet moment to relax and take it all in.
Mount Edwards (Moogerah Peaks National Park)	19 Apr, 2019	Medium	6.5km return 3 hrs
It's all up hill, but I found it quite pleasant. Very rocky, but not slippery. A bit of clambering involved, but I found this a bit more exciting than just the walking. Beautiful view at the top.
Mt Greville (Moogerah Peaks National Park)	19 Jan, 2019	Hard	6km return 3 hrs
I went up and down SE Ridge. Great views from the rocky slab, not sure I'd worry too much about heading up further to the summit again, views are nearly as good, but still nice to have done that. Saw a glider (not sure which sort, too dark), wallabies and some wrens. Good challening walk.
Mt Cordeaux (Main Range National Park)	1 Jan, 2019	Hard	10.2km 2.5 hrs
Easy, well maintained track up to the summit. With option to continue onto Bare Rock and Morgans walk. This particular morning the cloud was initially down adding a misty atmosphere - very nice. So the summit was clouded over, but I continued onto Morgans walk - again misty. On the way back, the clouds suddenly parted, so back up to the summit, beautiful views and a great way to start the new year. Plenty of birdlife to see, if you're quiet. The walk up took about an hour. Back down I took my time.
Mt Mitchell (Main Range National Park)	23 Dec, 2018	Medium	10.98km 3.5 hrs
Started at 3.30am to get to the summit for sunrise. Beautiful sections of rainforest, plenty of bird life and rock wallabies along the way up. Some steep stairs along the top sections, sure footing is a must. Views were spectacular in every direction, great to get an overview of the area.
BVRT - Coominya to Mt Hallen (Brisbane Valley Rail Trail)	16 Jun, 2018	Easy	14km one-way 4.5 hrs
Cool winter day to start with, but soon warmed up to be really pleasant. Beautiful weather for birdwatching and taking time.
Wivenhoe Hill (South East Queensland)	21 Oct, 2017	Medium	13km return
Did the walk after a few rainy days, even though there was a bit of fog, the views were still beautiful and nice to have the place to myself, great opportunity to spot some wildlife.
Lowood to Coominya Rail Trail (South East Queensland)	26 Aug, 2017	Medium	12km one-way 3 hrs
White Rock Ridge Hike (White Rock - Spring Mountain Conservation Estate)	16 Aug, 2017	Medium	6.5km 2 hrs
Now very well signposted. Just follow the main track right down until you see a signed post for the Ridge Hike. Great walk up along the ridge, had it practically to myself. Nice views out to the east, city can be seen in the distance. For those that are vertically challenged like myself, there are a few bits that require some jumping and scrambling, but great fun.
White Rock Multi-User Trail (White Rock - Spring Mountain Conservation Estate)	16 Aug, 2017	Easy	6.5km return 2 hrs
Very easy walking, but not a whole lot to see. I definitely have a preference for the ridge hike.

Nice easy walk/stroll. Well paved, well sign posted.
Wulkuraka Station to Diamantina Boulevard - Part of BVRT (Brisbane Valley Rail Trail)	Jul, 2017	Very Easy	3.8km one-way 90 mins
Very easy and nice start to the BVRT.
