23 Sep, 2021
Easy
12.8km return

Its a fine alternative to the paddle option, nice views toward the sand blow and a wetland (after all the rain we had). We returned late and had a beautiful sunset with views across the Noosa river. Boat/ kayak is needed to get across from Harrys Hut and back.

Lots of solitude until a group of dirt bikes came across Fairview Mt down to Austinville Rd. Beware! You hear them for a long time and suddenly they speed around the corner.

View is rewarding the effort. New viewing platform is operational. The whole trail network is now well signed and likely busy with MTB during weekends.

13 Jun, 2021
Medium

The Citriodora trail (part of the walk) is very well maintained and wide (fire brigade access) but also close to the freeway (noise pollution). Botanical Garden is very rewarding itself (has many paths to walk).

Hard

Completed the walk by walking on two occasions from either Binna Burra and O'Reillys to the middle (Chakoonya lookout) and return.
The purist: this does not count
The pragmatic: did the walk in each direction and did not have the hassle with the car pickup/ overnight backpack

The stormy weather forecast made for a very quiet day. Impressive moss covered log loading ramp from timber getter times.

Scenic but busy on a holiday weekend.
