Mt Greville (Moogerah Peaks National Park) |

Glorious day at Mt Greville. Up Palm, down Waterfall gorge. A couple of wrong turns. Nearly went down the last waterfall but thought there must be an easier way. I missed the right hand turn. Found this hike tough on the knees. First in the car park but it was full by the time i finished. youtube https://youtu.be/uS4YPN3rNFQ | ||||

Toolona Creek Circuit (Lamington National Park) |

First time to Lamington NP. Walked the Toolona Creek Circuit. What a gem of a walk. I think I missed Elabana Falls. 17.8k all up in 4hrs 34mins with stops for video & photos. I pushed the pace as wanted to get back to Brisbane before peak hour traffic. 5 degrees at the start with a nice breeze. No leeches :) I had the circuit to myself until about 7k to go. Came across a black dingo just after Toolona Falls. Just staring at me from the above single track. youtube video https://youtu.be/pxz7rP2IluQ to share. Not a fan of the long windy road but look forward to head back to explore some more | ||||
Mt Maroon (Mt Barney National Park) |

My first time up Mt Maroon yesterday morning. Glorious day after the storm that passed through the night before. Track was dry and with only a few puddles at the summit. A slight breeze and what a great stop for a cuppa. Views of Brisbane CBD it was that clear. I was a bit nervous coming down but was easier than expected. Sliding on my butt seemed the go! Parks have put a couple of tags to keep you headed in the right direction but still I relied on my Garmin 925 to keep me on track. A few footpads near the top that can get you off track. Sore today as I'm not used to those scrambling sections. Drank 1ltr water (out of 2ltr bladder), 2 hiking poles (i would only take 1 next time), wore Salomon trail shoes. Time to summit 1hr 33min. Spent and hour at top for rest, coffee and snacks. Just over 1 hr return. Will take in the other peak next time. youtube https://youtu.be/alk8_nzkjMM | ||||
