Mt Tinbeerwah (Sunshine Coast)	30 Nov, 2014	Easy	1km return 45 mins
Fun little walk with views to Mt Tibro and the glass house region. Very popular with abseilers, 3 separate groups including what appeared to be a school. Highly recommend if you're already in the area.
Mount Coolum (Sunshine Coast)	30 Nov, 2014	Medium	2.6km return 90 mins
This walk was nice until the trees drop off and you're in sun for the ascent. Wear a hat!! Well worth it for the views though!
Mt Warning Summit Trail (Wollumbin National Park)	23 Nov, 2014	Hard	8.3km return 5 hrs
Somehow managed to power through this walk pretty quickly. A lot more stairs than expected but was happy with how well kept the path was. Very popular at 4am. I forgot about daylight savings and was an hour behind sunrise. Breathtaking views, I highly recommend. Also, jogging on the way down cut 40mins off our ascent time :)
Caves Track (Lamington National Park)	16 Nov, 2014	Medium	5.2km return 90 mins
Nice walk, we started at the Ranger Station and thought we'd end up where we started as it is a 'circuit' however we ended up near the campground and luckily had a downhill jog to our car. Nice set of overhanging caves, beautiful lookout on the way. Saw a baby goanna and a red bellied black snake which got the adrenalin going. Stomped our feet the rest of the way :) Fun short walk!
Wild Horse Mountain (Glass House Mountains National Park)	19 Oct, 2014	Medium	1.4km return 30 mins
Short, steep walk but well worth it for the views! Incredible 360 views from the mountains to the bay. Worth the time if you're passing through :)
Mt Cooroora (Sunshine Coast)	19 Oct, 2014	Hard	2.6km return 2.5 hrs
Kudos to anyone who can run up that mountain, walking with short legs was difficult enough! Great fun walk with nice views at the top.
Dr Roberts Waterhole (Girraween National Park)	7 Oct, 2014	Easy	1.4km return 30 mins
Did this before driving home, nice little waterhole although didn't see anyone swimming here. More enormous granite rocks to explore!
Underground Creek (Girraween National Park)	5 Oct, 2014	Medium	3.8km return 105 mins
This walk was heaps of fun! I definitely recommend if you're in Girraween! We went in the rain and it was still worth it. You can hear the rushing water but good luck finding it!
Mt Norman (Girraween National Park)	5 Oct, 2014	Hard	10.4km return 4 hrs
Surreal landscape walking along old lava fields. A group of 3 of us found a series of caves but with our courage found a hole we had to be pushed and pulled through then went really deep into the rock. We were in these caves for just over 2 hours. I recommend a head torch!
Bald Rock Creek Circuit (Girraween National Park)	4 Oct, 2014	Easy	4km return 1 hr
Really picturesque. Great to do first thing in the morning when all the wild life is out! Plenty of colourful parrots everywhere!
Granite Arch (Girraween National Park)	4 Oct, 2014	Easy	1.7km return 30 mins
Really nice walk on the way to the Pyramid, lots of stairs come after though.
The Pyramid (Girraween National Park)	4 Oct, 2014	Hard	3.8km return 2 hrs
The walk looks much harder than it is but there were a lot of toddlers running around the top. Heaps of fun with great views!
The Junction (Girraween National Park)	4 Oct, 2014	Easy	5.6km return 90 mins
Beautiful walk. Really easy and fun to meander through after a bigger walk. Bring your togs!
Tullawallal Circuit (Lamington National Park)	6 Sep, 2014	Easy	5km return 90 mins
Nice walk which ends at some moss covered boulders. It's an abrupt end but pleasant if you enjoy just walking through the forest :) Lots of wallabies!
Mount Beerburrum (Glass House Mountains National Park)	30 Aug, 2014	Medium	3.5km return 90 mins
I attempted to run this. I ran about 100 of the 700m (and failed epically due to the ridiculous incline). Fantastic views though!
Mt Blaine Base Trail (Ipswich - Flinders Goolman Conservation Estate)	13 Aug, 2014	Medium	2km return 90 mins
The track takes you to the Mt Blaine saddle. Due to time we quickly went up the smaller peak but not the larger. The view was blocked by trees but it seems someone's tried to make a small cairn there. Good walk for fitness, not so much for views.
Mt Cordeaux (Main Range National Park)	12 Aug, 2014	Medium	6.8km return 2.5 hrs
Nice walk teaming with life! Spotted 3 lyrebirds and watched them mimic the calls of every other bird around. Lot's of caves and chasms about, presumably from volcanic gas tunnels. A lot of paddy melons also! A good trail running route.
Mt Barney - East Peak - Up South-East - Down South (Mt Barney National Park)	26 Jul, 2014	Very Hard	15km return 10 hrs
First over night hike, first hike with a 12kg pack and first hike rushing to avoid a lightning storm. Ascending the more difficult route was a great idea as by the next morning my knees were shaking every step. We did the South summit on day 1 and got a few minutes away from the West peak on day 2 however due to time constraints and the state of my knees we had brekky about 40m's from the summit. Was a brilliant view. I do not recommend this route if rain is predicted, it was slippery and unpleasant sweating under a rain jacket. Still, a great walk I'm very proud of :)
Natural Bridge (Springbrook National Park)	21 Jun, 2014	Very Easy	1km return 30 mins
Did this with a group of friends after doing the Numinbah Trails horse riding. Great walk for those who don't like walking but want some picturesque photo ops.
Mt Maroon (Mt Barney National Park)	24 May, 2014	Hard	6km return 4 hrs
Great walk, did it in 6 hours with 1 hour lunch at the summit and carrying a filled 65L pack for training. Highly recommend, but not for those with sensitive knees. Best done early in the day :) Watch out for Roo's on the drive in and out!
