Coomera Circuit (Lamington National Park)	15 Jan, 2022	Medium	17.4km 6 hrs
Spectacular! I have never seen so many waterfalls in my life. The creek crossings weren't particularly difficult however I would not attempt it after heavy rain. I was grateful to be wearing waterproof boots for this one. We saw plenty of wildlife including Lamington Spiny Crayfish. It took us 6.5 hours at a leisurely but steady pace. Easily one of the most beautiful walks in SEQ.
Purling Brook Falls Circuit (Springbrook National Park)	2 Jan, 2022	Medium	4km return 2 hrs
Beautiful walk. It was raining a little bit and that made it even better. We went to Warringa Pool as well which I would highly recommend!
Warringa Pool Track (Springbrook National Park)	2 Jan, 2022	Easy	2km return 45 mins
Worth the extra 2 km to check out these beautiful pools and waterfalls!
Noosa Headland Circuit (Sunshine Coast)	2 Jan, 2022	Easy	7.3km return 2.5 hrs
A beautiful walk. Bring your togs so you can enjoy a refreshing swim along the way!
Mt Mitchell (Main Range National Park)	16 Oct, 2021	Medium	10.98km 3.5 hrs
My new favourite hike. The views are beautiful on a clear day, you can even see Brisbane in the distance. We got up and back in about 2.5 hours. I’ll definitely be doing this one again. Sunrise would be amazing.
Mt Cordeaux (Main Range National Park)	8 May, 2021	Hard	10.2km 2.5 hrs
Upper Portals (Mt Barney National Park)	20 Feb, 2021	Medium	8km 3.5 hrs
We camped overnight at Yamahra Creek Campsite. There was plenty of water in the creek, it was beautiful. We started hiking from the Waterfall Creek Reserve Camping Ground because we don’t have a 4WD. The 4WD track was definitely the hardest part. The track was long and steep in sections with little to no sun protection. It took us about 1 hour and 45 minutes to get to the Cleared Ridge Parking Area due to the numerous water breaks we took along the way. The Cleared Ridge Parking Area has beautiful views of Mount Barney and Lake Maroon. The hike from the parking area to the Upper Portals is mostly steep and downhill. The path is quite overgrown in sections but there is plenty of signage so we never got lost. The little creek crossings were easy enough to cross and before we knew it we were at the campsite. It took us about 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach the campsite. We then set up camp and continued on to the Upper Portals. The creek crossing before the Upper Portals was particularly tricky to cross due to the amount of water but we got across eventually. We were the only people at the campsite, it was absolutely serene. Overall, it was a beautiful walk and would be a great first overnight hike, particularly for those with access to a 4WD.
Kondalilla Falls Circuit (Kondalilla National Park)	17 May, 2020	Medium	4.7km 2 hrs
Nice and easy walk. Great area for picnics at the start.
Mt Cooroora (Sunshine Coast)	25 Apr, 2020	Hard	2.6km return 2.5 hrs
My new favourite hike on the Sunshine Coast. The climb is steep but worth it for the beautiful views of the Sunshine Coast. I got up in about 35 minutes, stopping multiple times on the way up to catch my breath and take in the stunning view. I would love to do it again in the late afternoon while the sun is setting. 10/10.
Mt Tinbeerwah (Sunshine Coast)	30 Dec, 2019	Easy	1km return 45 mins
Easy walk with an amazing view of Noosa and the Sunshine Coast hinterland from the top. A nice place to enjoy a cold beer while you watch the sunset.
Mount Coolum (Sunshine Coast)	30 Dec, 2019	Medium	2.6km return 90 mins
Steep but fairly easy walk. You can get to the top in under 20 minutes easily if you are reasonably fit. Stairs most of the way. Beautiful view of Coolum from the top.
Hell's Gates (Sunshine Coast)	29 Dec, 2019	Easy	5.4km return 90 mins
Easy walk with some of the most beautiful views on the Sunshine Coast.
Mt Barney - East Peak - Up South-East - Down South (Mt Barney National Park)	10 Feb, 2019	Very Hard	15km return 10 hrs
Very challenging but rewarding hike. I won't be doing this again any time soon but proud to say that I've ticked this one off the list! I downloaded the Wikiloc App the day before we started and I'm very glad I did because we almost certainly would have gotten lost without it.
Cedar Creek Falls (Tamborine National Park)	19 Jan, 2019	Easy	1km return 30 mins
Quick and easy walk with nice swimming areas at the end. It does get very busy though, especially on a hot day like today.
Pages Pinnacle (South East Queensland)	15 Jul, 2018	Hard	6.7km return 2.5 hrs
It’s an easy walk up to Pages Pinnacle but it’s also very easy to get lost. I used the wikiloc website for directions and that helped me keep on track. When I arrived at the razorback ridge I realised I may have bitten off a bit more than I could chew...there were steep drops on either side and I wasn’t game enough to scramble across the rocks. So unfortunately I didn’t get to see the stunning views from the top of Page’s Pinnacle but it was a lovely walk nonetheless. Pages Pinnacle is not for the faint hearted (or those scared of heights)!
Best of All Lookout (Springbrook National Park)	15 Jul, 2018	Very Easy	700m 30 mins
Mt Warning Summit Trail (Wollumbin National Park)	7 Apr, 2018	Hard	8.3km return 5 hrs
My favourite hike! It’s best to go on a clear day for the best views. Not a very hard hike, except getting up the rocks can be a little bit difficult, but as long as you take it slow and steady you’ll be right.
Twin Falls Circuit (Springbrook National Park)	26 Jan, 2018	Medium	4km 90 mins
Quick and easy walk with lots of things look at along the way. Great swimming hole at the bottom. Loved it!
Table Top Loop (Toowoomba)	26 Nov, 2017	Hard	2km return 2 hrs
Not too hard, a fun hike with great views, especially after some rain when everything is looking nice and green.
Mt Ngungun (Glass House Mountains National Park)	17 Jan, 2017	Easy	2.8km return 90 mins
Easy walk with a great view at the end.
