Oxley Creek Common-Pelican Island Walk (South East Queensland) |
26 Oct, 2023 |
Easy |
3.5km return 45 mins |
|
| A really lovely find in the suburbs! We went after work and walk to Pelican Walk, then back and down to the Secret Forest. All up 6kms and took us about 1.25 hours. Level paths, very easy to follows, lots of birdlife. Really enjoyed and looked forward to heading back soon. | ||||

Cascades Circuit (Main Range National Park) |
23 Apr, 2023 |
Medium |
9km return 4 hrs |
|
| We went uphill first, anticlockwise, about 45 minutes of decent slow and not particularly interesting and would highly recommend this compared to clockwise. BUT coming down through the amazing rainforest seeing all the beautiful falls, creek crossings and stunning scenery completely worth it. Took us about 3.5 hours. Tired, but we loved it. There is a little bit of clambering required, crossing creeks and tree roots, so be sure footed. | ||||

Araucaria Falls (Main Range National Park) |
22 Apr, 2023 |
Medium |
3.6km return 90 mins |
|
| I have little legs and found this one quite challenging, though very beautiful. Quite a few big steps, so watch your knees. Lovely rainforest walk, coming to the top of the falls, you crossover and head down to the base, lovely spot to spend some time and reflect. | ||||

Dalrymple Circuit (Main Range National Park) |
22 Apr, 2023 |
Easy |
1.2km return 30 mins |

| Lovely little circuit, very easy walking, we tagged it onto the Cascades Circuit. Boardwalks, information stops, seats. A nice place to stop a moment and enjoy the surroundings. | ||||

Light Line Rd Kholo to Mermaid Mountain (D'Aguilar National Park) |
2 Dec, 2022 |
Medium |
9.14km return 3 hrs |
|
| Came from Lake Manchester Rd access and went anticlockwise around the loop up to the lookout and back. Up up up! Quite a few challenging steep hills to go up and come back down. A bit of scree, could get interesting in wet or dry weather. Having said that, view was definitely worth it! Beautiful lookout over the undulating hills and to Lake Manchester reservoir. Recommend walking poles and lots of water. | ||||

Goolman Lookout via Rocky Knoll (Ipswich - Flinders Goolman Conservation Estate) |
26 Nov, 2022 |
Medium |
7.4km 2 hrs |
|
| Steep climb, levels out for a while and a final steep pinch up to lookout. Nice walk, but take repellent or you'll be carried away by March Flies. | ||||

Mt Castle Lookout (Main Range National Park) |
27 Mar, 2022 |
Easy |
960m return 30 mins |
|
| Very easy walk, beautiful rainforest around. Unfortunately foggy when we got the lookout, but still very atmospheric. A little slippery in places, but lovely surroundings. | ||||
|
Queen Mary Falls Circuit (Main Range National Park) |
27 Mar, 2022 |
Easy |
2km return 45 mins |
|
| I had thought heading down to the valley floor and back up would be taxing. Actually a surprisingly easy walk. We headed clockwise to avoid climbing stairs on the way back. Beautiful spot to watch nature do it's thing. | ||||

Sylvesters Lookout (Main Range National Park) |
26 Mar, 2022 |
Easy |
940m return 20 mins |
|
| Great little walk through some beautiful rainforest. Stayed at Gordon Country, so a short drive from there. 4WD necessary for some creek crossings to get to the walk. Beautiful lookout, can be a little muddy and slippery underfoot, but all in all a very easy pleasant walk with spectacular views at the top. | ||||

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. | ||||

Mt Blaine Base Trail (Ipswich - Flinders Goolman Conservation Estate) |
9 May, 2020 |
Hard |
2km return 90 mins |
|
| 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. | ||||

Jan, 2020 |
Hard |

| 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 |
Hard |
6km 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 |
Medium |
6.8km return 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. | ||||
