Mermaid Mountain (D'Aguilar National Park)	21 May, 2020	Medium	18km 5 hrs
Beautiful eucalypt fire trails, met the owner of the later part of the track after you leave Moggil Conservation Park through the last gate, nice bloke. Saw no spiders as others have mentioned below.
Golden Boulder Track (D'Aguilar National Park)	27 Apr, 2020	Easy	1.8km 1 hr
Great walk for local history, the creeks were dry but seemed like they'd flow under a heavy wet season. The Turrabul circuit is definitely worrh doing alongside this track in one loop

Mount Blaine (Ipswich - Flinders Goolman Conservation Estate)	28 Jun, 2019	Hard	2.5km 2 hrs
Absolutely marvelous hike, quite strenuous in places and a tough scramble to the summit at the end. I especially liked the short break off the trail to the left halfway up, to Mt Catherine. From here you can see panoramic views of Flinders Peak & Mt Blaine, which makes summiting Blaine more interesting. Make sure you turn left at Mt Blaine Saddle to get to the summit, but off-track to the right are expansive views off the northwest face. I didn't leave early enough and was caught in the dark, which was extremely dangerous at the summit scramble.
Mt Blaine Summit Trail (Ipswich - Flinders Goolman Conservation Estate)	28 Jun, 2019	Hard	2.5km return 90 mins
Great scramble to the summit, make sure to go left at the Mt Blaine Saddle if approaching from Flinders Plum. Don't get caught at the summit after dark like me, it was horrendously dangerous
Scarborough Point Low Tide (Moreton Island National Park)	11 Jun, 2019	Easy	1km return 45 mins
Lovely walk, clear views of the entire Redcliffe Peninsula, Moreton Island, Bribie Island, and the glasshouse mountains.
Evans Lookout (Blue Mountains National Park)	1 Jun, 2019	Very Easy	200m return 10 mins
Charlie Moreland to Summer Falls (Conondale National Park)	31 May, 2019	Medium	22km return 5 hrs
Great hike. The climb to Mt Allan is long and strenuous and very steep in places at the end but a very easy trail, the plantation pine forest is beautiful and I was caught in clouds of monarch butterflies in late May. The fire tower was closed due to structural instability but it's still a rewarding part of the hike. The bush track to Summer falls is lovely and serene and the falls themselves are impressive and fun to climb. I left at 8am and meandered the whole way, getting back at nightfall
Charlie Moreland to Mt Allan (Conondale National Park)	30 May, 2019	Hard	8.8km return 2 hrs
Lovely hike up through the pine plantation, I was caught in a cloud of monarch butterflies at one point. The gradient is very steep for long legs, but the trail itself is very easy. The fire tower's 'currently closed' for repairs, but the hike can still be rewarding.
Gold Creek Reservoir (South East Queensland)	27 May, 2019	Medium	5.5km return 2 hrs
Average quality bushwalk circuit, more interesting to walk anti-clockwise but also easier to get lost. The lake is great for water activities in summer and there's lovely romantic lakeside picnicing spots
Bushrangers Cave (Springbrook National Park)	25 May, 2019	Medium	4.2km return 2 hrs
Great countryside hike from the NSW/QLD border at Numinbah to the caves, and a challenging climb from there to the summit of Wagawn. I found the best track was to follow the farmers road (grassy tyre indents) up the hill from the carpark and left from there. Rather than jumping the barbed wire fence early jump it as late as you can to avoid the overgrown start of the trail, it gets much more beaten track after the start.
