Caves Track (Lamington National Park) |
25 Sep, 2020 |

5.2km return 90 mins |

Half of this walk is still closed from 2019 fires. Enter from just down the hill of the Tea house. All down hill to the caves which is 1 cave but much bigger than we imagined. Really spectacular and worth the trip. Gorgeous rainforest to enjoy through and a soft path underfoot from all they leaf litter. You currently return the same way you enter. Saw a number of black cockatoos and heard lots of birds. There is a definite line of fire affected bush and then suddenly, no affect at all, quite incredible to see it. Will post a pic but it won't do it justice. | ||||

A lovely, easy grade walk in beautiful forest. No real view at the end, just sitting on rocks in amongst the trees. Lots of birds to listen to. | ||||

Walked this in the rain today and it was stunning. Not a difficult walk, gentle up hill on the return leg but very achievable. Not very muddy, great board walk sections and gravel sections. Muddy puddles were limited, 10 yr old would have liked more. Very well maintained track. | ||||

A short walk but it is straight up and a rock scramble for much of it. Our boys loved it! Took half an hour up and down again, around 20mins up top taking in the magical view. | ||||

Easy walk, path slowly climbs well defined track. Nothing difficult about the climb. Went when it was raining the whole time, cold and windy and saw absolute nothing but LOVED it! The 2 10yr olds had the time of their lives. Will climb again in good weather and do My Cordeaux on the same day. This walk is very achievable and takes around an hour to go up, faster on the way back. | ||||
Goolman Lookout via Rocky Knoll (Ipswich - Flinders Goolman Conservation Estate) |
7 Jun, 2020 |

An enjoyable walk. We went in a clockwise direction via Rocky Knoll first then onto the lookout. The track had recently been graded so coming down was easy on a mostly smooth path. The way down was steeper than the track up and we found this much easier to manage. Recommend going clockwise via Rocky Knoll first. Took an hour up and 40mins down with 3 kids in tow. | ||||
Cradle Mountain Summit (Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park) |

We started at Ronny Creek and followed the Overland Track the summit base at Kitchen Hut. Marion's Lookout was a great snack stop. Crater Creek and Crater Lake were beautiful on the way. The climb up the summit is hard. Big rocks, big gaps between and big drops but so very, very worth the effort to make it to the very top. We climbed it with a 9 and 12 yr old. Slow going at times but plenty of chances to enjoy the view. | ||||

After seeing images of this online it was a must! The boardwalk is awesome, very easy walk with beautiful views of a different world landscape. Very little water flowing but so pleased we did it. | ||||

Really beautiful walk. Did it with a 12 and 9 year old very comfortably. The view at the top is spectacular. Disappointing to see that people just drop their rubbish though. Really not hard to take everything back in your bag with you. | ||||

Enjoyable walk through Daisy Hill. Thought we were following the map so well until we were suddenly way off course. Oh well, still enjoyed the walk even if signage around the Neville Laurie Reserve was where we went wrong. | ||||
Mt Cotton (South East Queensland) |

Enjoyed this walk. Not too taxing, steep climbs but very manageable. Took 25mins to get to the top. Continued beyond the lookout to see great views to the west. We started from 640 West Mount Cotton Rd and after walk, drive down the steep hill and wandered around the little creek at the bottom, really lovely walking along the edge of the steam. | ||||
Small Cave (Plunkett Conservation Park) (South East Queensland) |

Not too challenging all at. Walked with a 9 & 12 yr old who loved the cave and rock hopping. After visiting the cave, we explored the rocks a little higher up and further along to the right. Lots of fun. Great directions to ensure we made it up the right track to the top, multiple walking trails in this area. | ||||

What a fantastic walk. Took our 9 & 12 yr old who loved it. A hard walk but with such a step walk, the views are impressive from very early. The first 3rd of the walk is nothing special, steep, loose underfoot and dull. Once you get to the rocks it is awesome. The view from the top is breathtaking. Will do it again for sure. | ||||

Great walk. Plenty of rain in the last 2 weeks made the track really muddy in patches which added to the adventure. Beautiful waterfalls with lots of water flowing. 3 water crossings in total, 2 easy and 1 requiring a little more thought. We walked clockwise thanks to the suggestions and definitely the way to go. | ||||
