Name	Date	Difficulty	Distance/Duration
Spicer's peak (Main Range National Park)	30 Nov, 2025	Very Hard	6km return 4 hrs
Summited today on a solo adventure. Definitely not for the faint hearted - this is not a well defined path and an offline map is essential. It is immensely sketchy due to the sheer vertical climbs, loose rubble, tons of soil, etc. The parts that are rock scrambly are few and far between - most is vertical "path" of dirt/cliff. The views at the ridge are great but the summit is barely worth the final push! Note there is no fence anymore. Backburning a couple of months ago added a wonderful additional element of ash and coal to the rubble mix. Take a second set of clothes for afterward! No water at either campground so pack wisely.
Mt. Mathieson Circuit (Main Range National Park)	30 Nov, 2025	Medium	10.5km 3 hrs
The circuit itself is only about 350m elevation gain and 8km. Heads up anticlockwise to the summit, a nice little ridge walk before open woodland and dense rainforest. Follow the heritage trail to Governers chair and then its down the dirt road back to Spicers Campground. Easy and varied walk.
Governors Chair Lookout (Main Range National Park)	30 Nov, 2025	Easy	300m return 15 mins
Springbrook Pinnacle (Springbrook National Park)	25 Jul, 2025	Hard	20km return 7 hrs
Id always thought this one too difficult but it’s very doable for a regular hiker. I downloaded a map of the route and with only a few detours on the way back from pinnacle barely lost the trail at all. The trail is defined. It is overgrown but passable. There are trees down by deviations in place where they can’t be stepped or climbed over. The pinnacle turn off is 4km from Warrie circuit start going anti clockwise. Last stream to fill water is 1km approx before turn off. There is a Warrie Circuit sign incidentally marking the beginning of the pinnacle track. They definitely don’t mention it anywhere!!! The scramble at the top had me questioning if I am indeed afraid of heights but just locked in and made it up and then back down. Safety first and mind over matter. Wonderful hike!
Mt Greville: Waterfall Gorge/Palm Gorge circuit (Moogerah Peaks National Park)	10 Jun, 2025	Hard	6.5km return 4 hrs
Flagstaff Mountain Lookout (Kamilaroi Walking Track) (New South Wales)	31 Jan, 2025	Medium	5.5km return 2 hrs
Beautifully maintained tracks. Lots of weaving options up there to make it longer or shorter as you like.
Light Line Rd Kholo to Mermaid Mountain (D'Aguilar National Park)	1 May, 2023	Medium	9.14km return 3 hrs
Combined this with Little Mermaid Lookout loop - all up 12.3km and 3.5 hours with a couple of 10 min breaks. Quite steep on the way down the eastern loop side.
Light Line Rd Kholo to Mermaid Mountain (D'Aguilar National Park)	1 May, 2023	Medium	9.14km return 3 hrs
Combined this with Little Mermaid Lookout loop - all up 12.3km and 3.5 hours with a couple of 10 min breaks. Quite steep on the way down the eastern loop side.
Coral Beach (Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday)	25 Apr, 2023	Medium	3km return 35 mins
Quite easy walk with stunning scenery. Only small, short inclines - even to Beak Lookout. It's a very beautiful walk that can't be missed when in the area.
Honeyeater Lookout (Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday)	24 Apr, 2023	Hard	8.2km return 2 hrs
Great walk. 50min up and 50min down with steady pace. Slippery at times. Recommend parking on Kara Ct to get to entrance
Wickham Peak - Calytrix Circuit (Wickham Timber Reserve) (South East Queensland)	25 Feb, 2023	Medium	7km return 2 hrs
Track is in great condition at the moment. Not a very hard walk for those who hike regularly - a good chance to stretch the legs nearby to Brisbane. Many more tracks to link into here if you want to extend the walk.
Banksia Track (Karawatha Forest)	15 Feb, 2023	Easy	4km return 1 hr
Greater Wetland Walk (Berrinba Wetlands) (South East Queensland)	26 Nov, 2022	Very Easy	2.8km return 45 mins
Lovely and hot walk in summer. Easy walking path
Devils Break Loop (Moggill Conservation Park)	6 Nov, 2022	Medium	5.8km return 90 mins
Went clockwise and linked this in with the Tower Loop. All up 8km and just under 2 hours. Well defined and marked trails made it easy to navigate.
Centre Road and Tower Break Loop (Moggill Conservation Park)	6 Nov, 2022	Medium	8.2km return 2 hrs
Went clockwise and linked this in with the Devils Break Loop. All up 8km and just under 2 hours. Well defined and marked trails made it easy to navigate. Very steep section on Tower Break
Piper Comanche Wreck (D'Aguilar National Park)	30 Oct, 2022	Hard	7.5km return 2 hrs
A very well signed walk, except, ironically, for the trail head. As per previous comments, it's about 30m in on the fire trail to the right. There is currently a stick planted in the ground at a cairn of stones. All ribbons are removed from the walk now - didn't see one. Reiterating point below, the palm forest before the descent to the plane wreck is an easy place to get lost - the route isn't clear. All up about 2.5 hours return with some stops along the way.
Scribbly Gums Conservation Area (Redland Bay) (South East Queensland)	22 Oct, 2022	Easy	6km return 90 mins
Beautiful walk! It is quite easy to take bike trails and navigate between the bigger power line tracks without a map. Diverse flora and a few wallabies. Spent about 2 hours here walking 9km of track
Casuarina, Maculata, Hakea and Wild May trails loop (Karawatha Forest)	14 Oct, 2022	Easy	4.5km return 90 mins
Combined this with Melaleuca Circuit & Poets Rock and all up took 1 hour. Big open tracks. The Hakea trail is the most interesting landscape wise
Poets Rock (Karawatha Forest)	14 Oct, 2022	Easy	4km 1 hr
Short scramble up but easy done in 5 minutes
Wild May Lagoon Trail (Karawatha Forest)	14 Oct, 2022	Easy	2.5km return 30 mins
Lots of little lagoons dotting this trail. Very flat - would be worth doing the loop with Hakea etc instead
