The bushland appearance changes often, including a lagoon.
Melaleuca Circuit (Karawatha Forest)	19 Sep, 2020	Easy	1km return 20 mins
After dusk there is an impressive frog concert along the lagoon.
Araucaria Lookout (Lamington National Park)	1 Sep, 2020	Medium	17.8km return 6 hrs
Decent year for king orchids. I estimate they will open up by the weekend. Do not wear your new hiking shirt, the wait-a-while palms recovered well during last year and will rip it to pieces. A few fallen tees on the Part off the border track.
Coombabah Lakelands Conservation Area (Coombabah Lakelands Conservation Area )	30 Aug, 2020	Easy	5km return 1 hr
Network of short trails. Combine from 2km to 12km. Great place to bring visitors who are keen to see kangaroos.
Cougal Cascades (Springbrook National Park)	22 Aug, 2020	Very Easy	1.6km return 1 hr
A walk the whole family can enjoy. If you can, avoid the usual popular times to find a suitable parking spot.
Varsity Lakes Wetland Circuit (Gold Coast)	21 Aug, 2020	Very Easy	2km return 1 hr
The walk can easily be extended with pathways along the various lakes in the area, often with views over the water towards bush areas or at present along green spaces with blooming grevilleas.
Venman Circuit (South East Queensland)	4 Aug, 2020	Medium	7.5km 2 hrs
Well maintained fire trail. Offers solitude, away from MTB.
Tingalpa Creek Circuit (Brisbane City Council Local Walks)	4 Aug, 2020	Medium	2.5km return 40 mins
Many pretty waterholes a few days after the rain. Presently very green scenery.
Mangrove Boardwalk (Coombabah Lakelands Conservation Area )	3 Aug, 2020	Very Easy	1km return 15 mins
Pleasant. Quiet. Along the adjusted access trail to the bitumen track two giant gum trees.
Walk on Water Track (New South Wales)	31 Jul, 2020	Very Easy	1km return 45 mins
Very enjoyable in winter. Had to “deal” with a blue-tongued lizard on the trail. Remarkable volume level as he/ she was hissing at me. Wouldn’t label the track anymore suitable for wheelchairs. The bitumen path has certainly seen better days.
Maroochy Wetland Conservation Park (Sunshine Coast)	28 Jul, 2020	Very Easy	2km return 1 hr
Wetland walk with much variety.
Noosa to Sunshine Beach - Coastal Track (Sunshine Coast)	28 Jul, 2020	Easy	5.4km one-way 2 hrs
Scenic beauty galore. Added bonus this time: sunset view from the Noosa parking area.
Dunethin Rock and Lake (Sunshine Coast)	28 Jul, 2020	Medium	2km return 45 mins
Interesting to read interpretive boards that relate how the land was divided after European settlement.
Fingal Head Lighthouse Walk (New South Wales)	17 Jul, 2020	Easy	1km return 30 mins
Never boring, even though not a lot of whale activities today. Possible to add the Dream time beach forest walk and return along the beach.
Tinchi Tamba Wetlands (Brisbane City Council Local Walks)	14 Jul, 2020	Very Easy	3.8km return 1 hr
Ticks all the boxes for a nice wetland walk.
Bunyaville Track (South East Queensland)	14 Jul, 2020	Easy	1.6km return 30 mins
Quiet on a weekday. Scenic picnic area.
Tallebudgera Creek Circuit (Gold Coast)	12 Jul, 2020	Easy	8km return 2 hrs
Just for exercise. No need to put the walk on the wishlist.. ..For scenic views I would rather stick to the Ocean track return (presently still closed) from Fleys Wildlife Parl or head over to Burleigh Heads NP.
Panorama Multi Use Trail (South East Queensland)	10 Jul, 2020	Medium	5.34km return 110 mins
Solitude and a few nice views, mostly toward the ocean/ Surfers P.
Tugun Hill Conservation Area (Gold Coast)	7 Jul, 2020	Easy	2.5km return 45 mins
Good exercise. Many steps. Partly constant M1 sound. The walk can be linked with other tracks and trails to reach from Currumbin Rock to Currumbin Valley.
