Bushwalks tagged Dogs Permitted within 150km of Brisbane City, QLD

The Benarkin to Linville section is 18km, downhill. The only inclines are crossings of Blackbutt Creek. Initially the walk is through gum forest, with stands of hoop pine and stands of silky oak. Then it opens up and runs through farm land for the last 4 or 5 km. There are plenty of birds, notably many brown doves, and flocks of quail. There is a bellbird colony near 130 kilometric mark. Blackbutt is a pretty creek if running. There is a bit of rainforest on the banks. Historical railway spots and information are signed and very interesting. Surface is good - no slippery bits. There are three shelters along the way. MacNamara's Camp. about half way, has a toilet and water tank. Take your own water. And maybe insect repellent.

Dunethin Rock and Lake

Sunshine Coast

98km away

A beautiful walk along dirt tracks in the bushland. Start from the Scout Camp, river or Dunethin Rock. It's an easy flat walk to Dunethin Lake and along the riverside. If you want a more challenging walk you can walk up the hill to Dunethin Rock and do a circuit back around to where you started. You can drive right up to Dunethin Rock if you don't feel like walking up the hill. There is a great view to My Coolum and Mt Ninderry from Dunethin Rock. There is a great view of Mt Ninderry from the lake and river too. Apparently you can hire canoes from the Scouts there, however, it needs to be pre-arranged. There are a lot of mosquitoes so make sure you use insect repellent.
