Natural Bridge (Springbrook National Park) |
23 Oct, 2013 |
Very Easy |
1km return 30 mins |
|
Done this walk many times, great during day and night - take a torch but DO NOT shine it on the glowworms. The greatest concentration is inside natural bridge itself, but you will see many on the approach. In spring/summer you can also see fire flies (actually Lampyridae beetles) on dusk/early evening. | ||||
Mt Tibrogargan (Glass House Mountains National Park) |
14 Sep, 2013 |
Very Hard |
3km return 3.5 hrs |
|
Starts as easy trail, then gets increasingly steep and rocky as you zig zag up to the base of the rock scramble. Very steep scramble (especially very first section), exposed, some loose rock. Excellent vistas on the way up...probably even better than final view at summit. Only for those free from vertigo. Be aware you are climbing the western side, so you will be in full sun if you do this in the afternoon. |

Did the return hike from hotham to Mt.Feathertop following the Razorback ridge. in one long day with my mum and a friend. Was a bit cloudy which spoiled the views a bit. Was cool to see the mountains in summer conditions - usually come here skiing. The snow gums are just beautiful. Path is well marked, some sections have steps. | ||||
