Coochiemudlo Island Walk (Moreton Island National Park) |
31 Dec, 2017 |
Easy |
5km return 2 hrs |
|
| Nice easy walk around the island. Took the early morning ferry across. Heaps of little beaches you can swim at. No high waves or anything so if you like that kinda of swimming you will love it. Some beautiful views across the water at the other islands. Only one cafe there which opens at 7:30 a.m To start the hike head towards your right when you get off the ferry you can either follow the path or walk along the little beach. All in all an easy stroll |

Mt Cougal (Springbrook National Park) |

| Did this one today..went a group called the fit, fast and furious.. did it in 3 hours all up, however no breaks other than the occasional one to catch your breath and spent 15 minutes at the top....Amazing walk very overgrown in a lot of places and it is a continous ascent from the get go. Flattens out a bit when your crossing the ridge before climbing again.. you pretty much keep the barbed fence(which is the border of QLD/NSW) to your left and go all the way up at times u gotta go across the fence which has been damaged due to fallen trees .. all in all quite exhausting but a great workout..Views absolutely worth it.. Recommend wearing long pants, ankle support boots and a full sleeve shirt to avoid leeches and cuts.. bit of scrambling to get to the top of the first peak...Would not recommend taking kids on this one.. and watch out for the occasional snake.. | ||||

Lower Bellbird Circuit (Lamington National Park) |

| Lovely walk through beautiful rainforests and amazing views. Wanted to do it along with the caves circuit but that was closed and will be for a while(caves circuit) from what the information centre told me.Instead of the caves circuit i added the lower ballanjui falls walk which was just about half an hour more and is on the way, well worth it. Started from the lower carpak near the information centre walked back down the slope of the road and the walk starts to your right. not too difficult and can be done with kids. The end of the circuit is along the cliffs and some amazing views from there. bellbird lookout also has some lovely views of turtle and egg rock. If you do stop at Yangahla lookout(which is on the way).. take care as this is on a downwards sloping rock and will be slippery if it has rained and its a sheer cliff edge.. but a beautiful look out point. Definitely recommend this walk can be done in around 3 hours . The walk back to the car is along the road so take care of cars. | ||||

| Did this walk along with the lower Bellbird circuit walk. It adds around 30 mins or so to the lower Bellbird circuit. Its a lovely secluded spot and the falls are beautiful not too much water when i went but after rains this would be amazing. Definitely worth the walk | ||||

White Rock Ridge Hike (White Rock - Spring Mountain Conservation Estate) |
16 Sep, 2017 |
Hard |
6.5km 2 hrs |
|
| Nice hike.. Lovely rock formations to see on the way. A bit of rock hopping is required. Make sure you have the right shoes on. You pretty much go all the way to the top of white rock then you can either retrace your steps back or descend and then take the multi user trail back to the car park | ||||

Mt Cordeaux (Main Range National Park) |

6.8km return 2.5 hrs |
|
| Lovely walk. Not difficult in terms of skill level but is a long walk up and good to get the blood pumping. Can be done with kids. The look out is beautiful however please note you cannot actually go up to the peak as that is closed. Worth the extra 40 minutes or so to go to Bare rock as the views from there are better. | ||||

Mt Tibberoowuccum (Glass House Mountains National Park) |
24 Jun, 2017 |
Medium |
1.7km return 1 hr |
|
| The less popular of the glass house family but a lovely mountain with a nice peak at the top. Nice walk/climb/scramble..not another person in sight.. Easy to miss the path hence be prepared and read up on how to get to the path. Instructions below 1. Park at the second Trachyte circuit carpark which is around 800 m further down the road from the main one (which is the car park for climbing mount tibrogargan) 2. Walk back onto the main road(Barrs road) and turn left and continue walking till u come across a T212 sign to your left. Take that path, its a 4WD road(watch out for any 4WD's) and go up to an intersection then take the road to your right and continue walking till u see a pile of stones to your left with a path THATS the path keep following it till you get to the top you will see more of these stone piles along the way which means you are on the correct path 3. Once you get to the top of the climb look to your left and you will see a path on the saddle which will take you to the base of the peak. (Its a bit rocky so take care of your ankles) 4. Once you get to the base of the peak it is just a short scramble to the top nothing too difficult. 5 Once on top enjoy great views especially of Mount Tibrogargan 6 Easy to get lost on the way down so either take pictures or keep those piles of stones in mind and follow those down. In the event you do get lost on the way down like I did just follow one of the 4WD paths back onto Barrs road and then look for mount Tibrogargan and walk towards it. Good opportunity to take postcard worthy photographs of tibrogargan :) Would definitely recommend this one over Tibrogargan if you want to do a climb with less /no people or if you want to practice a bit of scrambling before tackling Tibrogargan/Beerwah. All up this takes around 40 minutes if you only do the climb and not the circuit around the mountain. Good luck and have fun this mountain is amazing.. would recommend also doing the Jack Ferris look out after/before this as that look out give you the best views of the peak of this mountain on the way there and amazing views of all the glass house mountains when you get to the lookout |
