Larapinta Falls (Lamington National Park) |
16 Nov, 2024 |
Hard |
15km return 5 hrs |
|
| Gruelling hike in very slippery conditions. Awesome waterfall after the recent rains. So many leeches. Well marked track on both sides of the creek past Westgrays grave. Definitely need good footwear as it would be so easy to turn a ankle. | ||||

| 3rd time up and back. Glad we started early around 5.45 am. Beat the heat and had the ridges to ourselves. Steep track to the pad to the 1st Ridge. Steep drop off's on 2 sides but keep low and your good. Love this hike. | ||||

Mt Blaine Summit Trail (Ipswich - Flinders Goolman Conservation Estate) |
28 Sep, 2024 |
Hard |
5km return 3 hrs |
|
| Only a short hike as far as distance goes but definitely a hard one as it's very steep and the track is quite unstable as in loose rocks etc. We did it after a small ammount of rain which made most of the track soft muddy and slippery. Wouldn't like to go after heavy rain. Easy to lose the track coming down and had a bit of a battle with overgrown shrubbery across the track. And most of the tree trunks we used for hand holds were prickly. Enjoyed the challenges of this hike. Would be tough on a hot day. | ||||

Mt Greville (Moogerah Peaks National Park) |
30 Mar, 2024 |
Hard |
6km return 3 hrs |
|
| Hiked Mt Greville for the 4th time. Started about 6.20 am and got back to carpark about 6 hours later. Up waterfall gorge out to Slab Rock for a break and photos. Up to the summit then down via the south east ridge. Much easier than going down palm gorge. Paid to start early and we saw nobody until we arrived back to a overflowing carpark. | ||||

Love Creek Falls (D'Aguilar National Park) |
16 Mar, 2024 |
Medium |
4.7km return 3 hrs |
|
| Hiked this today. Found it hard going lots of rock hopping and scrambling along bush tracks. We found it slow picking the easiest and safest way to place our feet. Very slippery in places especially the last 200 metres or so to get right up to the falls. Definitely need good footwear for this one. Lots of amazing waterfalls and waterholes to cool off in. My Garmin recorded it at 12.05 klm and we spent 6.5 hours on the track. Not sure where the 4.9 klm comes from that some guides are saying. Really nice walking creekside all day. | ||||

Coomera Circuit (Lamington National Park) |
24 Feb, 2024 |
Medium |
17.4km 6 hrs |
|
| Did this hike today in overcast and wet conditions with fine rain the last 7 klms. My gps watch said 25klms. Easy hike but long. Didn't have any problems with leeches only had one. Gave the socks and boots a good spray first with aeroguard and bushman's. Loads of waterfalls pumping and we counted around 20 Creek crossings of coomera Creek and its tributaries. Started in the dark at 5am and finished at midday. | ||||

West Canungra Creek Circuit (Lamington National Park) |
27 Jan, 2024 |
Hard |
18km 6 hrs |
|
| Hiked this today starting at 5am from car park and finishing in 6 hours. Plenty of water in the creek made for wet feet on the 8 or so creek crossings. Hiking poles definitely made for safer crossings. Nice scenery and plenty of blue lamington spiny crayfish about on the tracks. Some Gympie Gympie plants trackside made for a bit of discomfort. I didn't think the hike was as hard as suggested. | ||||

Larapinta Falls (Lamington National Park) |
21 Oct, 2023 |
Hard |
15km return 5 hrs |
|
| Did this hike today. Glad we went early as car park was full on returning. Bit of a scramble come rock hopping hike. Need to watch your feet on the tree roots and rocks and your head on the many trees and branches accross the track. Bit hard to get lost if you follow the creek. Did cross back and forth a few times. Surprised at the end on how spectacular larapinta falls are. We did it in 6.5 hours and my sat nav watch said 18klm. | ||||

| Second time I've done this but today I did a solo hike. From start to finish including many short breaks and a good 45 minutes at the top it took me 5 hours. Cool at the bottom at 6.30 am but very warm near the top and all the way down. Very steep most of the way and very dry. You need plenty of water. | ||||

| Early start at track entrance below information centre. We walked till it joined the ships stern circuit and decided to do that instead of heading back to Binna Burra. Up until that it was a easy pleasant walk under all the towering cliffs. | ||||

| Started out on lower bellbird track but changed to ships stern at lower Ballanjui falls sign. Bit of a slog for quite a few klms with the track going uphill gradually. Came across one angry baby black snake that took it's time moving off the track. Some amazing views along the way. Started at 6.30 am from below information centre and ended at information centre about 3.45 pm and covered about 21klms. | ||||

| Nice easy walk down to the pools. Glad I took a jacket as it was quite cool at the rock pools. Not much light down there as you get closer to the creek. Nice spot for a rest and food. Not to hard going back up as the steps are pretty well spread out. | ||||
