Mt Maroon (Mt Barney National Park)	13 Jun, 2012	Hard	6km return 4 hrs
Ascended via the paddy's plain route due to the closure of Cotswold track. Enjoyed this very much walking up along the rock slabs, creek bed through the gorge then scrambling up over the rock, and making our way towards the summit over the rocky terrain.
Python Rock (Lamington National Park)	10 Jun, 2012	Easy	3.4km return 1 hr
Easy morning walk out to python rock great views out to the west and north... And ovelooks Castle Crag to the Lost World with Mount Throakban on the left and Moran Falls we then retraced our steps and continued on to the falls
Warrie Circuit (Springbrook National Park)	2 Jun, 2012	Hard	17km return 5 hrs
This walk has everything a great track to do in the rain, the waterfalls were in full flow and like worldwalker said " spectacular" to be able to walking behind some of them definetly sells the walk to me and we did pay our debt to the many leeches which attached themselves to us for the day, the rock formations are another great feature of this walk..I really enjoyed this walk and wished we would of added the pinnacle to it..... Next time maybe
Mount May (Mt Barney National Park)	6 May, 2012	Hard	9km return 5.5 hrs
Ascend by the northern ridge from the campsite, was a steep walk up over very rocky terrain, scree and tree roots, the track is fairly over grown towards the summit, would have liked to do this walk as a walk through but time didn't permit..
Mt Maroon (Mt Barney National Park)	14 Apr, 2012	Hard	6km return 4 hrs
post about ascending via paddys plain was actually done on the 7th of August 2011... Pity you can't edit your previous walks...anyway this time we ascended via Cotswold track as it is now open, didn't have a problem finding the track to the right, yes it goes down a bit, but it does go back up I found this the most exciting part of the walk, made our way to the top of Maroon where we had lunch and chatted with another group, today was a fairly fast ascent and decent as one of us had to start work that afternoon..
Cronan Creek Falls Track (Mt Barney National Park)	13 Apr, 2012	Medium	13km 5 hrs
Walked along the fire trail crossing the creek several times have me a chance to test my new Gore-tex lined trail shoes... Yes they work Gore-tex truly is amazing...lol.. Did this walk in the morning and was back at camp for a lazy afternoon..
Lower Portals (Mt Barney National Park)	12 Apr, 2012	Medium	7.4km return 3 hrs
Didn't start the walk till about 2:00pm, had a leisurely walk out to the portals, climbed over the large rock in the creek for a few photos, then continued up and over the ridge, past the small cave and rock hopped a fair distance up the creek, where we sat and had a bite to eat, made the return journey back to car park then back to Barney lodge campground..
Mt Warning Summit Trail (Wollumbin National Park)	25 Mar, 2012	Hard	8.3km return 5 hrs
Had a good walk up today, alot of traffic on the mountain today, seems to be quiet a few people in training, shared some lollies with strangers at the top...
Toolona Creek and Mount Wanungra Lookout (Lamington National Park)	Mar, 2012	Medium	20km 7 hrs
Had a great day walking this track again, it's one of my favourites especially when you want to introduce people new to the walks in Lamingtion National Park, Green Mountains section.... A great walk that shows of the beauty of the many falls, a view at the top of Mt Wanungra and Bithongabel if it's clear and also takes in the Ancient Antarctic Beech trees
Sylvesters Lookout to HOLE-in-the-WALL (Main Range National Park)	4 Sep, 2011	Very Hard	6.5km 5 hrs
Great walk, spent some time trying to find the hole and decided it was below us some where and looked for a route through the over growth to get there, followed the track down then up along the ridge line out, and there she was blowing like mad on one side and still and hot on our side of the hole...had lunch with a couple of campers who had also made it to the hole, then made the return walk back out, made a wrong turn in the rainforest but back tracked and made our way back to the road and car where we removed many ticks, during this walk particularly in the shrubs going down towards the hole I had to remove many ticks from my back and stomach, don't think I will do this walk during this time of year again, mid winter sounds better then ticks to me
Mt Warning Summit Trail (Wollumbin National Park)	20 Aug, 2011	Hard	8.3km return 5 hrs
Did this today with a group of about 30 youth and about 8 adults, light showers today, and very windy and cold on the summit, thoroughly enjoyed the walk today doing it with people who are new to walking/scrambling. Today was all about stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something new.
Mt Greville (Moogerah Peaks National Park)	17 Aug, 2011	Hard	6km return 3 hrs
Followed the route up water fall gorge, this route took us a while to find why I do not know...along the way we took a side track that lead up to a flat rocky slab which over looked another small gorge there is also a rock that looks like a monkeys head I have photos to prove it..anyway back to the main track we went and continued along the trail, stopped for morning tea on a rock slab then continued to the top had lunch then descended via palm gorge,even though the view is not that fantastic and your only at an elevation of 770m I really enjoyed this walk and would thoroughly recommend it due to the varying terrain you encounter on the walk..
Bare Rock track and Morgan's Walk (Main Range National Park)	31 Jul, 2011	Medium	13km 4.5 hrs
Great Afternoon walk, taking in Mt Cordeaux an then out to Bare Rock...had lunch and lazed in the sun,enjoying the views... walk through the heath to the other side and take in the views of NSW to the south...decided nt to take Morgans Walk as the views are mainly Obscured by trees
Wilson's Peak (Main Range National Park)	11 Jun, 2011	Very Hard	12km 5 hrs
What a great walk!, And one of the most memorable, the lichen blowing in the rainforest trees, the low cloud cover and with it threating to rain made this a mystical experience, and to see what looked like a hugh rock monolith sticking out of the ground before you,and its top shrouded in mist/cloud was sheer magic and brought a smile to my face after enduring those steep ascents along the rabbit fence...the view from the top was just cloud..and the cairn of rocks has a small tree growing out of it and is nearly covered...what a fantastic afternoon, coming back down didnt seem to take long...except for the last stretch which was completed in the dark, rain and cold
Mt Mitchell (Main Range National Park)	28 May, 2011	Medium	10.98km 3.5 hrs
Tracks clear all the way, no leeches, very nice walk this time of year.
Mt Cordeaux (Main Range National Park)	28 May, 2011	Medium	6.8km return 2.5 hrs
easy walk up through the rainforest, nice late in the afternoon to see the sun light up the surrounding countryside and mountains, and to see the shadow of cordeaux in front of us on the hilly terrain below...
Lower Portals (Mt Barney National Park)	14 May, 2011	Medium	7.4km return 3 hrs

Morans Falls (Lamington National Park)	May, 2011	Easy	4.4km return 90 mins
Ive done this walk a number of times, but now include it as a extended walk by going in via the border track then out to the old loggers camp out to orchid grotto then along the cliff line to moonlight crag and balancing rock then walk back around the road to the track that leads to the top of moran falls, walk out along the creek to reach the top of the falls, then walk back to the track and continue to see the best views of the falls follow the track to complete then walk back to the road, then a short walk back up to the car park

This is a shorter version of the Taloona creek circuit and has many waterfalls including the picture postcard Elabana Falls.
Mount Tibrogargan Summit (Glass House Mountains National Park)	25 Apr, 2011	Very Hard	2.7km return 2 hrs
Quick walk and scramble, awesome views, after doing Mt Barney 2 days earlier was a walk in the park...still need some sought of scrambling skills, be relatively fit and not be scared of heights...im sure this is a different route to what i did in 2005
