Mount Edwards (Moogerah Peaks National Park) |
28 Nov, 2017 |
Hard |
6km return 3 hrs |
|
| First half to the lookout spot is easy enough. Second half to the summit is a challenge for more elderly walkers but worth while views at the top. Agree with other walkers- take plenty of drinks. |

| Stunning views from the Governors Chair spot. Road is badly washed away in spots with recent rains. A lot of bird & animal life to see. Worth the approximately 7 klms of gravel road but take it slowly. | ||||

Davies Creek Falls Circuit (Far North Queensland) |
19 Oct, 2017 |
Easy |
1.2km return 45 mins |
|
| Davies Creek & Emerald creek walks can be done easily in a day with a drive from Cairns. Lovely walk through open forest along the creek. A few steep sections & steps but overall an easy walk. Take water as it can get hot as it is more open than many of the rainforest walks around Cairns. Easy track to follow. | ||||

| Great views from the top. There is sign marking a 300 meter climb up stairs which is steep however if taking it steady there are 2 seats on the way to enjoy the gorge itself. Once at the top it levels out to the viewing platforms. | ||||

| Definitely the must see in the Carnarvon Gorge area along with the Moss Garden. Take the time to just sit & listen to the sounds if you have it to yourself. Need to be reasonable able bodied to climb the ladders leading to the entrance. Fantastic spot | ||||

|
Cathedral Cave (Carnarvon National Park) |
29 Aug, 2017 |
Hard |
18.2km return 6 hrs |
|
| Starts out from the visitors center & is well marked up to the Art Gallery turn off. After this the walk flattens out however is not so well marked & requires some common sense to find the track in a few areas. Great walk & worth continuing up to the Big Bend for a break before returning. River crossings a bit wobbly in places. Allow a whole day if taking time to visit the sites along the route. | ||||
