Goolman Lookout via Rocky Knoll (Ipswich - Flinders Goolman Conservation Estate)
20 Nov, 2021
Medium
7.4km
2 hrs
Came here as a plan B hike since the entrance to Flinders Peak was flooded. Took us about 2 hours and 15 minutes starting from hardings paddock picnic area. Nothing too interesting, trail is straightforward and nothing special. Couple of steep hills but that's about it. Views from the lookout were pretty good but alas, there were a lot of trees/foilage in the way.

Lovely hike honestly. For us we were out there for about 4 hours(including swimming). Man was the water temperature a surprise. Definitely felt very very very refreshed after a nice dip in there. Other than that nothing too crazy on this hike, it goes go up and down a fair bit so be prepared for that.

Only did maybe the first quarter or so of this hike. Absolutely cool terrain but poor weather conditions. Was storming the night before so the track was rather wet. As I did this one alone I figured it'd be safer to return another time when everything had dried out.

Definitely a good walk, espescially if you add in the bare rock track. Took us about an hour to reach the summit. Lovely views from the top!
Mt Maroon (Mt Barney National Park)

Really good hike. If you do attempt this make sure you arrive early (and if you want it nice and quiet go on a week day, weekends are usually rather busy. On the way back down from the summit make sure you pay attention to the trail and carry some sort of GPS device/map. Made the mistake of not paying attention properly and ended up veering off track. Should take about 3 and half hours or so return.

Did this hike today. Took us about 4 hours in total. Would probably take you about an hour and a half to get to the summit/reasonably close, as well as an additional hour and a half getting back down. We weren't in a rush today and just went our own pace, taking as many stops as we wanted to pictures n whatnot. Really stunning views throughout the whole trail. I'd personally recommend going on a week-day as weekends get very busy.
