27 Nov, 2022 |

Kosciuszko Summit (Kosciuszko National Park) |
26 Nov, 2022 |
Medium |
13km 5 hrs |

Hiked the to summit today. There was quite a lot of snow earlier this week (yes late November) which meant a lot of the track was covered in thick snow and slowed me down - however was able to make it to the top which had excellent views. Went up the chairlift from Thredbo which was worth paying for. Walked down instead of catching the chairlift back down and regretted it. Worth doing especially to see snow in late spring | ||||

Not really a walk - but a great lookout nonetheless | ||||
Albert River Circuit (Lamington National Park) |

Long walk. The echo point lookout is really nice - a good spot to stop. The waterfalls and rainforest was much like other waterfalls and rainforest I’ve seen in many other places. If I were to do it again I’d probably just walk straight to echo point and back. | ||||
Mt Ninderry (Sunshine Coast) |

3.3km return 90 mins |
|
Nice walk up Mount Ninderry with the family. Well maintained track with steps leading up - not too far for small kids - plenty of people doing the right thing with dogs on leads. Nice views East and West. | ||||
Cronan Creek Falls Track (Mt Barney National Park) |
28 Feb, 2021 |
Medium |
13km 5 hrs |
|
Nice walk - plenty of water. Lots and lots of creek crossings quite deep so be prepared with footwear. Easy to find marker on the left of track. Excellent swimming but freezing even on a hot day. |

Wilson's Peak (Main Range National Park) |
7 Jun, 2020 |
Very Hard |
12km 5 hrs |

Mixed feelings on this one. I enjoyed the scenery, the solitude (had it to ourselves) and the views headed up. The uphill and downhill is tough as it’s slippery even in dry weather and the views at the summit are limited. Still I think it’s worth doing once. I prefer Mount Cougal | ||||
Mt Maroon (Mt Barney National Park) |

Early morning hike to summit at 6am with my two older boys (8 & 10). Beautiful views. On the way down about 9-10am saw hundreds of people headed up - it’s a shame it seems this mountain has become too popular 😕 | ||||
Mount May (Mt Barney National Park) |

Great hike with awesome views. We did the recommended loop and crossed the saddle between the peaks which was easy to do. Beautiful day in May on Mount May. | ||||

15 Feb, 2020 |

Great walk after the rain. Heaps of waterfalls on the way up. Summit was covered in cloud so no view except cloud. Highlight was walking up close to a Albert's lyrebird | ||||

Super tough hike - make sure you’re good with heights. 4 hours to summit and 40 mins back to car down SE Ridge | ||||
Mt. Tibrogargan summit - Caves Route (Glass House Mountains National Park) |
5 Jan, 2020 |
Very Hard |
3.97km return |
|
Enjoyable way to the summit. The hardest part I found was entry to the chimney which is about 10 feet of climbing. Whilst ascending the chimney I heard a noise looked up at the summit and saw a BASE jump happen right before my eyes. Crazy. | ||||
Mount Amos (Freycinet National Park) |
16 Dec, 2019 |
Hard |
4km return 3 hrs |
|
One of my all time favourite hikes - killer views at the end. Took my 8 and 10 year old boys up and whilst they’re weren’t many/any children doing it they loved it (they’re experienced scramblers). | ||||
The Cream Track (Springbrook National Park) |
27 Oct, 2019 |
Hard |
11.5km return 4.5 hrs |

Good walk. Nothing technically challenging just hard constant uphill slog. There’s a section in the middle where you can walk off track a bit along a razorback ridge which was probably my highlight of the whole walk. | ||||

I walked up from Billiau Road which was a fire trail the width of a regular road and covered in bitumen. Reasonably good views at the top but nothing super amazing - just some country fresh air. | ||||
