| This is the 6th time up this Mountain. This time it was up Waterfall Gorge smoko above Slab Rock then up to the summit. Coming down via South East Ridge. Total time was 6.5 hours but with plenty of breaks and a bit of confusion on sth east ridge. Have to remember to veer to the right after the cairn of stones and orange marker. Glad to have had my GPS watch just to get me back on the right track. Didn't get the cooling rain until I had my keys in the car door. Such is life. | ||||

| Third time around this stunning hike. Plenty of creek crossings but not to much water that my socks got wet. Loads of leeches which is understandable. Perfect weather today nice and cool undet the canopy. I took it at a lazy pac with lots of stops. Just a tad under 7 hours including stops. | ||||

| Did this today starting from west gap creek car park which adds another 5klms to total. Nice easy to follow track but a bit overgrown towards the summit so beware of giving ticks a free ride. Also a few leeches made themselves known. I did the return hike back to gap creek car park including 2 good stops to refuel in around 6.5 hours. 16.42 klms total. | ||||

Mount Goolman (Ipswich - Flinders Goolman Conservation Estate) |
22 Sep, 2025 |
Medium |
5km 2 hrs |
|
| Started from Hardings Paddock went via Goolmans lookout. All fire trails and well signed and turned off left at tree with pink ribbons marking summit trail. Pretty well marked all the way up. Steep at the top and hard on the toes coming down. Would be easy to slip on all the loose stones. Easy enough to do but draining in the heat. Better in the colder months. | ||||

Spicer's peak (Main Range National Park) |
13 Sep, 2025 |
Very Hard |
6km return 4 hrs |
|
| Did this today in conjunction with Mt Matheison. Awesome day out in the fantastic scenic rim Mt Matheison is relatively easy whereas Spicers Peak is in my opinion not for the inexperienced or faint hearted. Very steep climbs,dangerous edges and some difficult scrambling well worth it for some amazing scenery on the climb up. Not so many vantage points on the summit. We had some rain near the bottom coming down and wouldn't like to be hiking up in wet conditions. | ||||
