Isolated Peak and Toms Tom
This walk is mostly off track and has some very exposed and challenging descents. The views are spectacular on clear days. A rope is almost obligatory (I didn't take one but I certainly would have used it to descend from Toms Tum if I had one). I would not recommend tackling this route in wet weather as there is a lot of rock scrambling and some sections of almost vertical rock climbing (descending). I had mobile phone reception on the top of Isolated Peak and Toms Tum.

Lower Portals
This was my first overnight hike. It was challenging, but not ridiculous. A good beginners walk.
I highly recommend going for a dip in the creek even in Winter. It was like an ice bath for my tired muscles :)

Montserrat Lookout and Upper Portals Circuit
An awesome day out taking in these two spectacular locations, enjoying the amazing views of Mt Barney from Montserrat Lookout, and exploring the Portals. There are a couple of leg-burning climbs involved, but the rewards are worth it.

Mount Ernest
IMPORTANT: The route to Mount Ernest from Yellow Pinch via the northeast ridge involve traversing private property. You should contact NPRSR to obtain contact details for the landowner in order to obtain permission to enter private property.
Mount Ernest lies on the opposite (northern) side of Mount Lindesay Highway from its namesake, and provides spectacular views of Mount Barney to the north. While much lower than the main peaks of Mount Barney, routes to the summit of Mount Ernest are less trodden take just as long.

Mount Maroon Southern Route
This alternate route up Mount Maroon begins from the end of Dynans Hut Road following the fire trail until Paddy Plain Remote Bush Camp after which the small creek named Paddys Gully is followed upstream for a short way before turning right at the fork in the creek and following this mostly dry tributary up the Southern flanks of Mount Maroon. The exposed creek bed is followed up hill for a while until you exit it on the righthand side to join the forested gully you follow for the majority of the way up until the plateau. Once the plateau has been gained its not long until you run into the main tourist path and follow it up to the summit. Trail up the Southern flanks of Mount Maroon is off trail / overgrown and navigation skills will be needed.
