Still lots of storm damage, with trees over the boardwalk and some points missing. pretty easy to get around however and I hear every week there's more and more work done to it. Very easy walk, barely raised a sweat, but was beautiful to sit at the waterfall. |

Camped up in Rum Jungle in the night, attempted both peaks but only made East due to the heavy cloud cover and rain. got lost in the white out on the way back, but explored a beautiful peak above Peasants Ridge/Rum Jungle. | ||||

Didn't quite get to the end as my mate was scared of the open heights. Was still beautiful views as you cross the range, seeing over to Angels landing, down the canyon as well as the high desert on the other side. | ||||

HOLY WOW THIS WAS THE BEST THING EVER. The canyon grew to over 1000 feet on either side of us and at times the water was waist deep. Such beautiful country. Exhausting towards the end as you continually wade through water and shoes fill with sand. Was fairly dry for us and water levels low, but there were a few rapells through waterfalls and were quite difficult without harnesses. Make sure to bring plenty of rope. |

Not so busy on a weekday and easy for a scrambler like myself. But the views. Amazing. And the people you meet. It's cliche and required to climb it, but totally worth it | ||||

Went in the middle of the day and it was quiet. I was the only person there. Track was under water in a few parts, but with obvious detours. Lights of wildlife! I had run ins with lots of snakes, goannas and birds. Very nice for so close to brisbane | ||||

Had the day off work, so why not go?! It's a quick drive from home. A beautiful day for it, the tracks were a bit muddy. Only passed maybe 2 people all day, but I imagine on weekends it's quite busy with all of the horse and mountain bike trails (and manure). The quarry was such a tranquil place for lunch too |
