Mt Cordeaux (Main Range National Park) |

Very nice winter time walk, was very fresh in the rainforest, but not too cold with long pants & a light jacket on. Definitely would get muggy & uncomfortable to do in the summertime I feel. Really pleasant views & lots of interesting different trees the whole way, but the views at the top were absolutely stunning. took about an hour up & an hour down for this part of the hike, however we went on further to Bare Rock another extra 45 mins up & back & it was so worth the extra km, the view got even better! | ||||
Cronan Creek Falls Track (Mt Barney National Park) |

Decent 3-4 hour round trip walk with beautiful Secret Falls at the end. Thoroughly enjoyed the falls & swimming here & we had them all to ourselves. Saw a few people heading here on the way back, so the earlier the better. Better to do this one for warmer weather so you can cool off & have lunch at the falls. You may think you have gone too far & haven't reached the falls yet, but there is now a small sign on the left of the track once you hit them & you just work your way through about 5-10m of scrub to get to them. | ||||
Purling Brook Falls Circuit (Springbrook National Park) |

Probably takes about 2 hours round trip, really nice water hole to swim in at the bottom, so best done in warmer weather. Beautiful falls. Bit challenging for the super unfit hiking back up & out, but not that difficult. | ||||
Mt. Coot-tha Summit Track (Mt. Coot-tha) |
3 Mar, 2018 |

I've done this one many times as it's fairly easy, but a nice incline to get the heart racing at the same time. Beautiful views of Brisbane at any time of day, but I prefer to do this walk & reach the summit for sunrise. It's a bit dark & sketchy looking going up at this time, but I usually only see other people on the track on my walk back down at this time. Takes about half an hour to get up from the car park & less to get down. | ||||
Mount Coolum (Sunshine Coast) |

This is a fairly short walk about half an hour to 45 mins up, depending on fitness, however it does get the heart racing, especially if your cardio fitness is not up to scratch, so can be a bit of a challenge. Nice view at the top of Coolum beach, but nothing too spectacular. |
