Name	Date	Difficulty	Distance/Duration
Gheerulla Valley circuit (Mapleton National Park)	17 Apr, 2022	Hard	22km 6 hrs
Beautiful walk. We did it as an overnighter, sleeping at Thilba Thalba. Had previously done it clockwise, but prefer anti-clockwise going from the carpark past the falls and down the valley before the short and sharp climb up to Mt Thilba Thalba and then across to the campsite.
Cedar Creek Falls (Tamborine National Park)	25 Jan, 2022	Easy	1km return 30 mins
Plenty of water in the creek. Went early to get a park.
Daves Creek Circuit (Lamington National Park)	19 Sep, 2021	Medium	12km return 4 hrs
Goomoolahra and Rainbow Falls (Springbrook National Park)	23 Jan, 2021	Medium	4.4km return 90 mins
Great addition to Twin Falls. Did this easily with kids (10 & 8yo)
Twin Falls Circuit (Springbrook National Park)	19 Sep, 2020	Medium	4km 90 mins
Trip with Underwood Scouts. Great walk. Not too busy. Decent water and as a bonus got to see a couple get engaged!
Best of All Lookout (Springbrook National Park)	19 Sep, 2020	Very Easy	700m 30 mins
Trip with Underwood Scouts. A clear day gave a fantastic view. Always amazing.
Natural Bridge (Springbrook National Park)	19 Sep, 2020	Very Easy	1km return 30 mins
A lovely finish to the day with Underwood Scouts. Not too busy - had the cave to ourselves for a decent time.
Flinders Peak (Ipswich - Flinders Goolman Conservation Estate)	11 Jul, 2020	Hard	6.5km return 3.5 hrs
Took my 8 and 10 year old kids up. It was tough for them but they enjoyed it.
Wickham Peak - Calytrix Circuit (South East Queensland)	23 May, 2020	Medium	7km return 2 hrs
Took the kids up starting from Quinzeh Creek Rd and continued on to Grass Tree Lookout after Wickham Peak. Lovely walk however Wickham Peak has a lot of broken glass and cans.
Mt Warning Summit Trail (Wollumbin National Park)	10 Nov, 2019	Hard	8.3km return 5 hrs
Climbed the mountain with my 9yo daughter. Unfortunately the view was obscured by smoke but that didn't stop quite a few people from making the climb.
Leven Canyon Lookout (Tasmania)	29 Oct, 2019	Medium	1.8km return 45 mins
We stopped here on our way out from Cradle Mountain. Fantastic walk which easily fit in with our drive.
Hansons Peak (Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park)	28 Oct, 2019	Hard	5km return 2 hrs
Fantastic walk with some different angles on the Dove Lake area. Chain section was not difficult for anybody with scrambling experience. Wind was quite strong and chilly.
Enchanted Walk (Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park)	28 Oct, 2019	Very Easy	1.1km one-way 30 mins
Yet another lovely walk at Cradle Mountain. Since this is a short walk we added it at the end of a day when we didn't have time to fit in a bigger walk.
Marions Lookout (Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park)	27 Oct, 2019	Hard	7.5km return 3 hrs
Amazing walk! Unfortunately the lookout was covered in cloud but we still got amazing views on the way up and got to enjoy the snow on the ground and falling!
Dove Canyon (Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park)	26 Oct, 2019	Medium	6.3km return 2.5 hrs
A lovely walk. Great variety of vegetation and a good opportunity to check the discovery centre at the same time.
Dove Lake Circuit (Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park)	25 Oct, 2019	Easy	5.7km return 2 hrs
Lovely walk which we used as an intro to the park. Felt like we stopped every 5m to get yet another photo from a slightly different angle.
Goolman Lookout via Rocky Knoll (Ipswich - Flinders Goolman Conservation Estate)	14 Aug, 2019	Medium	7.4km 2 hrs
Took the family who did it with no trouble (two 7yo and a 9yo). Nice views from the top but not the most exciting walk we've done.
Small Cave (Plunkett Conservation Park) (South East Queensland)	19 May, 2019	Medium	4km return 2 hrs
Took the kids up to the cave and had some fun scrambling around. Good afternoon walk with not too much driving.
Lower Portals (Mt Barney National Park)	2 Mar, 2019	Hard	7.4km return 3 hrs
Camped with son. Beautiful as always and great being there without the crowds.
Twin Falls Circuit (Springbrook National Park)	2 Dec, 2018	Medium	4km 90 mins
Very hazy due to dust and smoke but a decent amount of water coming over the falls. Been a long time since my last walk and it was even nicer than I remember.
