Mt Maroon (Mt Barney National Park) |

Great walk/climb to the summit. I got a bit lost on the saddle as I didn't know which path to follow. You need to go the right and then make a left - there was a large fallen tree blocking the path which put me off so I went the other way and ended up lost for about 10 mins but found my way back through some bush ok. Once at the top I had the summit to myself and it was a beautiful clear sunny day and the views were spectacular. The summit was covered in butterflies the day I went which I thought was beautiful but unusual until I realised later that day there was a once in 8 years butterfly migration on that weekend which meant they were everywhere in Brisbane. Highly recommend this walk to experience walkers only. |

White Rock Ridge Hike (White Rock - Spring Mountain Conservation Estate) |

I've walked this dozen of times and it's definitely the best way to hike to White Rock. Great views to Brisbane city - probably better than the views at the top of White Rock itself. If you're unsure about where this track starts you can walk back from White Rock first and that way you'll know where it starts. | ||||

I avoid this track as it's rather boring and do the ridge hike every time instead. | ||||

Great hike this one - lots of interesting terrain and after the saddle there's one bit that is a pure climb straight up which was the only part where I nearly turned around but I'm glad I didn't as the views from the main peak are stunning. | ||||
