Mt Coochin (East and West Peaks) (Glass House Mountains National Park)
7 Apr, 2019
Medium
2.8km return
2 hrs
Did this walk as the first of three in a day. Excellent views of the glasshouse mountains from the West peak. From the East summit we headed down the South-East ridge and had to do a bit of bush bashing. It does come out on the circuit trail so just follow the path left to return to the carpark. A decent hike to take newcomers on to get a taste of scrambling and climbing.
Mt Ngungun (Glass House Mountains National Park)
7 Apr, 2019
Medium
2.8km return
90 mins
Did this walk again as the second of three hikes as it will be closed until end of August. Was disappointed to see people throwing rubbish off the summit. The popularity of this easy and beautiful mountain has unfortunately led to its temporary closure as people have not been respecting the environment or keeping on the walking tracks.
Mt Tibberoowuccum (Glass House Mountains National Park)
7 Apr, 2019
Medium
1.7km return
1 hr
Did this as the third hike of the day after Mt Coochin and Mt Ngungun. If you're just going to the summit and back you can do this in half the time. Has a great view of Tibrogargan and most of the other Glass house mountains.
Mount Edwards (Moogerah Peaks National Park)

Great to introduce new hikers to. Scenic start crossing over the dam, some incline but nothing tricky. A good morning hike that brings you back down in time for lunch.
Flinders Peak (Ipswich - Flinders Goolman Conservation Estate)
24 Feb, 2019
Hard
6.5km return
3.5 hrs
A decent hike for the reasonably fit. Physically taxing especially on the knees. As has been said before, this hike is challenging but not technical and safe all the way (despite some intimidating looking parts near the top). Rock hopping along the ridge was the highlight.
Mount May (Mt Barney National Park)
17 Feb, 2019
Hard
9km return
5.5 hrs
Interesting and challenging hike. Recommend going in a clockwise direction starting from the trail on your left just before the red sign in the campgrounds. Difficult to find a track in some parts particularly on the saddle between the two peaks. Pre downloaded a GPS which was handy though to be used more as a general guide then strictly followed. Be wary of a steep descent along a ridge line after the Southern peak and that the 4x4 track runs through private property with a bunch of cows and bulls.

Mt Maroon (Mt Barney National Park)
3 Nov, 2018
Hard
6km return
4 hrs
Path was easy to follow on the way to the summit. We did a loop around the far ridge and cut back across the saddle (though this required much scrambling and there was no clear path). Awesome hike, will be back.
Mt Nebo - Honey Track (D'Aguilar National Park)

Not really any view at the end so a little disappointing but a decent length hike.
Wivenhoe Hill (South East Queensland)

Walked the blue and black trail. After looking the whole way we spotted a koala in the parking lot right at the end.

Up via waterfall gorge. Easy to follow (there were intermittent small pink markers). Came down via palm gorge. Great hike.

Up palm gorge. Tried to come down SE ridge but could not find the path. Back down palm gorge, which is one of the most beautiful I've seen so far in QLD. Next time would ascend via SE ridge and down waterfall gorge.
