Noowongbill Lookout (Lamington National Park) |
11 Feb, 2017 |
Very Hard |
14km 10 hrs |
|
| 5 hours return to Noowongbill Lookout. Will save the extension to Fountain Falls for a day when it's not tipping 40 degrees! After crossing Coomera Creek & heading uphill you quickly pick up a series of pink markers that take you all the way to the lookout. The going is tough in places due to the steep incline. Just one technical bit up a rocky chute, but someone has kindly tied a rope to assist you. Once you're past that bit, it heads steeply uphill still for a short while before levelling off and then descending to the lookout. We almost missed it as a large fallen tree is blocking the rocky outcrop. And the old sign behind the lookout is a stump of wood with a couple of old nails where the sign once sat. The rocks made a great spot for lunch before we turned around and headed back via a very welcomed and refreshing dip in Gwongoorool Pool. A great day out! | ||||

Lake Manchester loop (Brisbane Forest park D'Aguilar National Park) |
22 Jan, 2017 |
Medium |
17km 5 hrs |

| Nice walk. Did it clockwise and some good undulation for first third. The cabin at 5km makes a great morning tea/lunch spot with lovely views of the lake and a nice bench. Views of the lake are limited past this point until you get near the end. Creeks were dry today so the water filter didn't get any use, but I was glad of the extra water I'd brought with me (3l total). Well signposted the whole way round and there's now a path that takes you all the way round, skipping out the 800m on the road at the end that it appears you used to have to do. Overall a great day out | ||||
