|
Big Bend (Carnarvon National Park) |
30 Dec, 2018 |
Hard |
19.4km return 8 hrs |
|
| Worth the walk, but Big Bend itself was a bit of a letdown after the highlights along the rest of the walk. | ||||

|
Mt Maroon (Mt Barney National Park) |
2018 |
Hard |
6km return 4 hrs |
|
| Excellent variety of bushland, and plenty of fun scrambling. It is easy to miss the turnoff into the gully, however. Keep a keen eye out! | ||||
|
Daves Creek Circuit (Lamington National Park) |
2018 |
Medium |
12km return 4 hrs |
|
| Variety of fauna and terrain. Saw my first land mullet - frighted the daylights out of me initially thinking it was some type of snake. The little cave halfway is a surprising find. Good views. | ||||

2018 |
Medium |
6.8km return 2.5 hrs |
|
| Jurassic views and fantastic lookouts. | ||||

Mt Barney - East Peak - Up South-East - Down South (Mt Barney National Park) |
2017 |
Very Hard |
15km return 10 hrs |
|
| Lots of fun rock scrambing and hopping towards the top. Probably took us 9-10 hours with ample stops to enjoy the views. Allow an early and full day coming from Brisbane. | ||||
|
Cedar Creek Falls (Tamborine National Park) |
2017 |
Easy |
1km return 30 mins |
|
| Not the place to go for peace and tranquility, but clearly a popular swimming and diving spot. Easy concreted paths. | ||||
|
Mount Bartle Frere - Eastern Approach (Wooroonooran National Park) |
2017 |
Very Hard |
15km return 12 hrs |
|
| Definitely try for a dry day if you can - it's a choice between leeches and none. Did this one (after ditching the first leech-laden attempt and coming back on a dry day) over a solid 10 hours. Plenty of creek crossings to start with, and towards the top the walk opens up into a grand boulder jungle, well kitted with hand-holds/foot holds where needed. Shorter people and kids might need a bit of a hand in some parts though. | ||||
|
Barron Falls Lookout (Barron Gorge National Park) |
2017 |
Very Easy |
1.2km return 45 mins |
|
| Easy walk. Magnificent in size even if it is only a drizzle. I can only imagine the thundering after a good rain. | ||||
|
Coomera Circuit (Lamington National Park) |
2016 |
Medium |
17.4km 6 hrs |
|
| Lots of gentle creek crossings. Did this one in 4-5hrs after an unplanned detour to Binna Burra at midday. Mostly gentle gradients. | ||||
|
Mt Warning Summit Trail (Wollumbin National Park) |

Hard |

Cataract Gorge (Tasmania) |
Nov, 2013 |

|
Cradle Mountain Summit (Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park) |
Nov, 2013 |
Hard |
18km return 7 hrs |
|
| Amazing walk with no peer on the Australian continent. Did this one in jeans and apparently ill-kitted for possible rainy weather later in the day - had some strange looks from the information centre - but the gamble paid off well and it stayed dry through the few hours' walk. Spots of snow up the top still in November were a novelty coming from Qld. | ||||
