Mount Cooroy (Sunshine Coast) |

An awesome family day out. Did it with our 6 year old. Took about 1 hour 20 minutes return with a decent stop at the top for lunch. Was great to see so many people of different ages and fitness levels all give it a go. A lot of parents with young bubs strapped to them to give them an extra workout in the legs. Will definitely return next year. | ||||
Mount Tibrogargan Summit (Glass House Mountains National Park) |

Beautiful hike. Have done this a few times before but took our 6 year old son up this time. He loved it. A few challenging parts, but take your time and look for hand and foot holds and you will be fine. Once you make it passed the initial two sections it gets a bit easier. There was a rescue going on in the background when we went. The track was a little dry and dusty but there were plenty of people doing it. We saw a lot of people lose the mental challenge after the first few sections and return back. Just keep focussed on the hike and enjoy it. | ||||
White Rock Ridge Hike (White Rock - Spring Mountain Conservation Estate) |

Really straightforward cruisey hike. Took my 6 year old uo and had a great laugh. There are two trails, the white rock ridge trail and the multi user trail. Strava showed about 8km all Up from car park to return. It’s not too hard to find the trail, just stick to the more worn paths and you will be sweet. Once the trail starts to descend there are orange markers to keep you going keep you on track. There is an awesome little cave too. Overall a nice hike suitable for kids. We had lunch at the top and got some awesome photos. | ||||

This one has become one of my favourites. Did it with my 6 year old and it’s his new favourite too. Strava showed almost 8km and took 4hours 30 return with a stop at the top for lunch. This hike is pretty unique. Got a little off the main track a few times but it all seems to connect back up. There are orange markers when you start getting closer to the top. Just stop and have a look around before you commit to a track and you will be fine. | ||||
Flinders Peak (Ipswich - Flinders Goolman Conservation Estate) |

What a way to spend Australia Day. Took a 5 and a 6 year old up. It gets a little steep in some parts but the kids managed it pretty easily. It took us 4 hours return with some stops including a lunch stop. The views are awesome. It is pretty exposed weather wise most of the way up and got pretty hot so take plenty of water and a hat. An awesome family day and well worth it. Garmin showed 7.3km return and 654m elevation. | ||||

One of my favourites. The rainforest is amazing. Did this hike including bald rock with my 5 year old. It took us 5 hours return including a few stops and lunch at the top. Saw heaps of wildlife including snakes, goanas and skinks. You won't be disappointed with this one. The track is pretty straightforward and doesn't get too difficult. | ||||
