Flinders Peak (Ipswich - Flinders Goolman Conservation Estate) |
8 Jul, 2017 |
Hard |
6.5km return 3.5 hrs |
|
Our group of 10 all different ages and level of fitness completed this hike in 4 hours. The ascent was a great challenge for some, yes there were some heart beat raising moments however we all agreed the this hike rating should be medium/hard. Flinders Peak ticks all the boxes for rock scrambling, navigation, fantastic views (yes! you need to stop and turn around) 360 deg views up top. The picnic area is a great place to have a lunch (we all took a snack for up top). A great day out and only 1 hour out of Brisbane. | ||||
Mount May (Mt Barney National Park) |
13 May, 2017 |
Hard |
9km return 5.5 hrs |

Our group of 10 totally enjoyed this hard hike. Elevation straight up from the car park got the heart beating, scrambling over rocks got the hands dirty, walking out via the service road added another level of soreness for some; the quads and knees took a hammering. Mt May is a wonderful hike that ticks all the boxes for a hiking adventure. The view for lunch up top is breathtaking! If you take your time, spin around and look at the amazing view when you catch your breath! Sometimes we need to slow down, enjoy the hike and not see it as an achievement by getting to end in record time :) |
