Olinda Falls (Dandenong Ranges National Park) |
26 Dec, 2016 |
Easy |
1.5km return 45 mins |

Nice small set of falls. As it's a short walk it's perfect if you are in a rush (to see other sites around the area). | ||||
Sergeant Dan Stiller Memorial Reserve (South East Queensland) |
17 Dec, 2016 |
Easy |
11km return 3 hrs |
|
Not too difficult. More to see on the southern end of the reserve. Plenty of birds to see. As there is not much shade this would be a good walk for the morning or afternoon (better bird ops too). | ||||
The Cream Track (Springbrook National Park) |
11 Dec, 2016 |
Hard |
11.5km return 4.5 hrs |

A great but challenging walk. As this track is not used too much it's likely you'll get to see wildlife not seen around the more popular Springbrook tracks. There's a couple of decent views along the way too. New guideposts have really improved track visibility but it still needs a bit of work. You'll still need to follow the pink tape in a number of sections. We accidentally went off track twice but it did not take too long to find our way back. I highly recommend to bring a GPS with you. The main service track is in good condition however to avoid private property sometimes the track veers off into rougher and slightly overgrown areas, because of this you really should wear long pants. I received a few scratches and collected a tick. The track is steep is some sections but manageable. Thank you to the land owner of Serenity Farm who allow walkers to access this track :-) |

Great walk with plenty to see, including wildlife and two amazing lookouts. Even on a hot day the temperature in the rainforest sections is quite cool and pleasant. This walk does not take the suggested time of 4hr return. Dawdled through and returned in 2hr 45min. | ||||

An easy set of tracks suitable for kids and people in wheelchairs. Plenty of informational signs. The tours only run on weekdays unfortunately. Stop by the cafe for refreshments when you finish. | ||||

A nice area but the signage is bad. Don't venture off into the mangroves like I did. | ||||

Gold Creek Reservoir (South East Queensland) |

Dularcha NP - Roses Circuit (Sunshine Coast) |
8 Oct, 2016 |
Medium |
8.1km return 2.5 hrs |

Very steep in some sections (the loose gravel doesn't help). Some nice views from the high areas. Check out the tunnel while you're here. | ||||
Jenyns Circuit (Tamborine National Park) |
2 Oct, 2016 |
Easy |
4.3km return 105 mins |
|
A nice walk but the side tracks to Jenyn's Falls and the lookout have been closed off (appears to have been that way for a long time). A bit disappointing. Besides this the rainforest sections and strangler figs were impressive. | ||||
MacDonald Rainforest Circuit (Tamborine National Park) |
2 Oct, 2016 |
Easy |
1.2km return 1 hr |
|
A basic walk, quite busy so there isn't too much wildlife to see. | ||||
Table Top Loop (Toowoomba) |
1 Oct, 2016 |
Hard |
2km return 2 hrs |
|
Was not expecting this to be a scramble, you'll need a moderate amount of fitness to get to the top. The 360 views from the top are worth it. I saw a few people doing this in thongs, not recommended. | ||||
Rainforest Circuit (Daintree National Park) |
11 Sep, 2016 |
Easy |
5km return 90 mins |
|
A nice walk and place for a swim. If you want to save time take the bus to the start, otherwise it's an extra 4km each way. The rock pools are very popular with tourists. The rest of the circuit is not as busy. |
