Nice easy stroll. Heaps of mossies.
Pages Pinnacle (South East Queensland)	29 Jan, 2022	Hard	6.7km return 2.5 hrs
Hard slog up from car park to the first ridge. Was quite muddy from the recent rains. Traversing the first ridge was not to difficult would have been easy as back when I was 30. Fantastic 360 degree views of the Advancetown Dam and Numinbah valley and Egg rock. Bit of a climb down to the base of pages pinnacle and then a scramble up and across another ridge to the top. Reasonably easy return trip staying below in the rainforest. Lovely day.
Coombabah Lakelands Conservation Area (Coombabah Lakelands Conservation Area )	2 Jan, 2022	Easy	5km return 1 hr
Nice flat walk. Loads of kangaroos. We saw 1 koala and we had a encounter with a rather large Red Belly Black snake which Sandra nearly stepped on. We had a bit of rain and a lot of the tracks were under water.
Mt Mitchell (Main Range National Park)	25 Dec, 2021	Medium	10.98km 3.5 hrs
Sunrise hike. Something different for Christmas this year. Nice hike got there for 5.30am Not a good sunrise cool windy and cloudy. No rain as was forecasted and even better only the two of us up there. Good way to spend the morning.

A nice easy hike with plenty of views.
Lincoln Wreck Circuit (Main Range National Park)	28 Aug, 2021	Very Hard	12.4km 8 hrs
Well marked track. But a GPS was good for the confidence. First half of the track was reasonably easy. Second half was all uphill and steep and slippery. Good day all in all. Long day all told including the drive there. Would definitely recommend a 4WD.
