Little Bald Rock (Bald Rock National Park)	14 Feb, 2022	Medium	7.8km return 2 hrs
We couldn’t find the loop section once on the summit so did an up and back return walk which came in at 9km. Nice walk and easy access to he summit. Very windy on the summit ridge today with a storm threatening so didn’t hang around. Nice walk completed well under the NP recommended timeframes so not difficult at all.
Donnelly’s Castle (Darling Downs South West)	13 Feb, 2022	Easy	800m return 45 mins
Nice short walk imagining what it would have been like to hide out here in the caves.
Dr Roberts Waterhole (Girraween National Park)	12 Feb, 2022	Easy	1.4km return 30 mins
This is a really easy flat walk to a stunning waterhole. Easy to tag on to a day of harder walking and worth the extra time.
Underground Creek (Girraween National Park)	12 Feb, 2022	Medium	3.8km return 105 mins
Easy flat walk to a truly beautiful area. Well worth the visit and shouldn’t be missed.
Peak and Creek Trails (Girraween National Park)	12 Feb, 2022	Medium	17km return 4 hrs
After the majesty of the other walks this was a little boring. Would be a nice ride though which is what it is really meant to be.
Castle Rock (Girraween National Park)	11 Feb, 2022	Hard	4.4km return 90 mins
Completed this along with the Sphinx and Turtle Rock today. More challenging than the Northern Circuit but the way back is mostly downhill which was nice. The Views from Castle Rock are worth the effort.

The Sphinx and Turtle Rock (Girraween National Park)	11 Feb, 2022	Medium	7km return 2.5 hrs
This walk is very different to the Northern Circuit with very little water flow but granite abounds on this largely uphill walk on the way out and it was picturesque in a different way. Largely downhill on the way back and we took the side trip to Castle Rock.
Wyberba Walk (Girraween National Park)	10 Feb, 2022	Very Easy	300m one-way 15 mins
Completed the Northern circuit walks today. Started out towards the Pyramid. My husband wasn’t keen so I went on alone but after getting a third of the way up the last rock face I decided it wasn’t for me. I have made the summit many years ago and didn’t enjoy it. It’s not the height but the severe fear of falling backwards that takes away all enjoyment on these types of rock faces. Very achievable physically for moderate fitness though. The walk to the Junction and remainder of the bald creek circuit is stunning and highly recommended. Easy walking and just amazing scenery.

Quart Pot Creek Trails (Darling Downs South West)	9 Feb, 2022	Easy	5km return 1 hr
This is a delightful walk along the creek. We started in Folkestone Street and went left from the carpark if facing the creek. This took us down to red bridge and the more untamed part of the creek and along a rough track called Sean’s walk before retracing our steps and crossing the creek before heading in the other direction. Great way to stretch the legs after the drive from Brisbane.
Nerang State Forest Centre Road (South East Queensland)	5 Feb, 2022	Medium	10.6km return 3 hrs
Nothing to see, typical Aussie bush but enough hills to keep the average fitness level happy with a moderate workout.
South Nobby Headland (Gold Coast)	4 Feb, 2022	Easy	800m return 40 mins
Walked 12km return from Broadbeach along the coastal pathway and climbed the stairs at the headland before making this our turn around point for the day. Beautiful spot.
Blackfellow Creek Glen Rock (South East Queensland)	26 Jan, 2022	Easy	16km return 4 hrs
This was a really lovely walk. The distance is long enough to stretch your legs and give you a few hours on the trail but its flat so easy. Multiple creek crossings to wear older shoes or be prepared to take them off repeatedly. The creeks were running well up to about knee height but easy to cross and so pretty. It was overcast and raining on and off so not too hot but a very exposed walk so could get really hot on a clear summer’s day.
Munroe Tramway (Darling Downs South West)	15 Jan, 2022	Medium	7.2km return 70 mins
This is a lovely easy walk through with interesting interpretative signs.
Pardalote Walk (Toowoomba)	15 Jan, 2022	Easy	1.9km one-way 1 hr
This was an enjoyable walk along the range with stunning views for most of the walk. Small hill on the way back but overall a pretty walk with nice breezes even in the heat of summer.
Mount Wongawallan (Gold Coast)	29 Dec, 2021	Medium	1.4km return 30 mins
We took the 4km option from Crystal Creek Road. It’s naturally uphill all the way but not ridiculously steep and easy to come back down. Lovely Australian Bush and we had it all to ourselves which is always nice.
