Maybe 45min return. Great view of Barney at the top (and cell service). Nice to stretch the legs. | ||||
Mt Barney - East Peak - Up South-East - Down South (Mt Barney National Park) |

LOVED it. Be wary of following others tracks - if you end up 'bush bashing' retrace. Got lost twice plus climbed half of west peak before realizing we were on it opposed to the east. Took 10hrs return from yellow pinch reserve car park including hours lost/retracing and breaks. Take at least 4L water, food and good shoes! Eager to get back to this area, loved the challenge, the bar has been lifted! Check the weather, you'll want a clear day to fully appreciate the summit. | ||||
Lower Portals (Mt Barney National Park) |

Beautiful. Cruisey walk, 1.5hr there. 1hr return. Allow plenty of time to swim and enjoy the portals, it is worth it! When you reach what appears to be the end of the track and see a small swimming hole to your left. Proceed under up and through the two big rocks in front of you to get to the true portals. | ||||

20mins up. 15 down. Lovely view, low level skill so great to break in those less experienced. My mother has done this one with me and loved it. | ||||
Kondalilla Falls Circuit (Kondalilla National Park) |

Nice walk - very cruisey. Swimming hole just gorgeous, but generally rather cold! Don't overthink, just jump in - you'll soon get over the shock and enjoy it :) |

Mt Tibrogargan (Glass House Mountains National Park) |

Have done about 10 times. Still my favorite quick climb/scramble. INCREDIBLE views, and good fun to power up. Not for those scared of heights as in parts quick a steep drop. First timers (myself included in 2013) often panic about how they'll get down. Rest assured a little crab walk/bum slide in parts will solve this issue. A must do! |
