14 Jun, 2024 |
Easy |
3.3km return 90 mins |

Nice, relaxing walk. Went through the week so no big crowds but still people out & about, with the recent dry weather it was a good walk. | ||||
Ewen Maddock Dam - Trail 1 (Sunshine Coast) |
16 May, 2024 |
Easy |
13.4km return 4 hrs |
|
Nice flat walk, the loops add extra length to the walk but overall really pleasant walk. | ||||
Artists Cascades (Conondale National Park) |
9 May, 2024 |
Medium |
12.2km return 3 hrs |
|
I walked from the day use area & as stated by some others the 12.2km distance seems a bit strange, my GPS had 17km on it after returning to vehicle with the Gold mine & Cairn included. Anyway its a lovely walk always with the sounds of the creek very close, it would be great on a hot summer day as the creek is crystal clear & plenty of great swimming spots to cool off in on the way.plenty of wildlife along the way also. | ||||
Noosa to Sunshine Beach - Coastal Track (Sunshine Coast) |
23 Mar, 2024 |
Easy |
5.4km one-way 2 hrs |
|
Very busy as I went on a Saturday, also parking at the Noosa national Park end is at a premium most days, but the walk is well worth the challenge. | ||||
Mount Beerwah Base (Glass House Mountains National Park) |
14 Mar, 2024 |
Medium |
9.5km one-way 3 hrs |
|
Overcast & showery on the day which made it fairly comfortable to walk around Mt Beerwah, heaps of Golden Orb spiders with huge webs strung across parts of the track which made you keep an eye out for them, nearly had several close encounters. | ||||
Baxter Falls - Northern Approach (Kondalilla National Park) |
17 Feb, 2024 |
Medium |
3.3km one-way 90 mins |
|
Heaps of rain the day before so the track down was very slippery but the falls were in full flight. Really nice little track well worth the effort, as usual in the Mapleton area the humidity is very high so bring plenty of water to balance the sweat factor. | ||||
Mt Wellington - Summit Lookouts (Wellington Park) |
1 Feb, 2024 |
Very Easy |
400m return 30 mins |
|
Mt Hobwee Circuit (Lamington National Park) |
15 Nov, 2023 |
Medium |
18.2km return 8 hrs |
|
Good walk on a hot day as mostly under forest canopy. Not much in the way of views but as stated by others the summit is a nice place for a lunch break. Took me about 7 hours including a couple of meal breaks & I don't walk that fast, if you haven't walked Coomera Falls do that on the way back as an extra treat. | ||||

Kureelpa Falls (Mapleton National Park) |
10 Jul, 2023 |
Easy |
2.5km return 1 hr |
|
Walked the shorter version & it had been pretty dry so falls were pretty quiet but you can see how big they would be after a downpour by the lay of the rocks. Might walk in the long way next time & go after a rainy period |

17 Apr, 2023 |
Easy |

Done this walk with a group & led by a guide(Alan) who was a qualified Botanist which made the walk really informative as he was very knowledgeable of the area & its flora & fauna. | ||||
Gheerulla Valley Circuit (Mapleton National Park) |
13 Apr, 2023 |
Hard |
22km 6 hrs |
|
Good day to walk, the creek hadn't seen much water but its still a lovely walk. Plenty of areas to take a swim on a hot day.Climb up out of the valley is a workout, going anti-clockwise on the circuit.Great veiws from Thilba-Thalba. | ||||
Westray's Grave from Christmas Creek (Lamington National Park) |
14 Mar, 2023 |
Medium |

Coonowrin Circut (almost) (Glass House Mountains National Park) |
13 Sep, 2022 |
Medium |
12km 2.25 hrs |
|
Good views of Mt Beerwah on the west side of walk, when you get to the end where the "Private Property"signs are you can bush bash the last 100 metres(scrub is not that thick) & you can see a gate which is the corner gate of private land, then follow the fire trail from there back up to Murphy's road saves backtracking about 5 kms. The fence line at the end is very noticeable so you won't be trespassing on any ones land if you keep a lookout | ||||
Mt Tinbeerwah (Sunshine Coast) |
7 Sep, 2022 |
Easy |
1km return 45 mins |
|
I took the advice of another hiker on this site & walked up the Mt Tinbeerwah goat track from Old Tewantin road, this route probably makes the hike a Medium walk & a lot of more fun than just the walk from the carpark to lookout. Trail is well defined so no issues getting lost. Highly recommended |

Hard |
3km return 2 hrs |

Great weather early in the morning for this walk.Terrific views from both lookouts & can't argue with tea & damper at the bottom of the climb for purchase at the Spring Festival. Good atmosphere with heaps of people climbing up the mountain. Probably will have a go again next year or the year after |
