A fine walk. I only did the Blue and Black trails this time. The Blue trail offered a couple of decent views out to the lake but, most importantly, both trails were crawling with spiders. There was not one tree that did not have at least the trace of a web on it. Even at the back of a group of three I had some web threads stuck to me. There were a couple of spiders above the trail too but they were easy to avoid. We also passed through patches of deafening cicadas. Regardless, this was a decent, easy walk. On the way back to the car park on the Black trail I saw a couple of kangaroos, one with a joey in tow. | ||||

https://ofsoutheastqueensland.wordpress.com/2017/11/13/lake-manchester/ Here, I wrote a longer recount of my walk on this trail, and me and my companions' experiences around the lake. I think it's interesting, so maybe check it out of you're inclined. This was a nice longer walk, with some interesting and pretty parts and much varied bird life. Going clockwise, not too far from the beginning of the track a sign will point with an arrow up a hill. Going this way proved to me and my small group to be a waste of time, because the trail disappeared. It seemed to continue past the sign along the lake to the rest of the trail. Without distances marked on them, I'd say the signage on this trail is poor. |

Not very interesting apart from the empty shells of a few cars along the path up a hill, and full of mosquitos. | ||||

This walk is not as difficult as other people and even the park's signs make it out to be. Sure, it is entirely downhill to the end, but it is not steep at all. Mount Mitchell is harder. We saw varied wildlife; bellbirds, red-tailed black cockatoos, kookaburras and a large python resting next to the trail, as well as several ticks and a leech. The trail predominantly passes through rainforest before entering an area of thin burn regrowth and an area with many grass trees near the head of the falls, with lovely views of the surrounding area. |

A nice short walk with great views and scenery. Not too easy but not very difficult. We encountered clouds of mosquitoes on a previous visit, although they were absent on this one. | ||||
