Great way to spend easter friday, but went up peasents an down, it was a gruelling 10hr non stop walk/scramble to the summit where we spent 15minutes and took some photos, got down to the road out just on dark, glad we were prepared and had head lamps, 4 more kms to go in our wet socks and shoes, but loved every minute of this long day | ||||
Gwongoorool Rock Pools (Lamington National Park) |

Did this walk after heavy rainfall, at some spots there was water flowing onto the track like mini waterfalls, half way down to the pool there was a massive land/mud slide, we had to climb up over it and find the track somewhere on the otherside, water flowed down the track most of the way, blue spiny crayfish hissed and snapped at us along the track, the pool was in full flow more like a raging torrent then a pool... | ||||

Nice short walk that shows off what Green Mountains has to offer, great walk to take kids on I remember doing this walk back in 99/2000 with two young girls who had never walked any distance before and completed it without complaint, I think they were more taken in by the beauty of the forest then the distance they were walking | ||||

Great walk this was my 2nd walk down to blue pools, I remember this one in particular because I nearly stood on what I though was a death adder curled up sunning itself on a flat rock pad...I think worldwalker would remember this, still not sure if we did these walks in September or October.. | ||||

Great walk, nice to be up at Oriellys, staying in the campground again, this was in the week of the September 11th attack... Have memory's of coming back from a hard days walk and being up at the lodge bar for a celebratory beer when we heard the news, and having conversations with international guests, about the event, there was one very upset American girl who was trying to make a call home.... | ||||

Done this walk a number of times this being the most memorable as half way through the day a thunderstorm came over got soaking wet, contended with leaches all day and walked throught the mist and cloud cover up at the lookouts, mt wanungara 1165m, toolona 1160m, Bithongabel 1165m, the swirlimg mist through the antarctic beech trees transformed this walk into a magical experience. | ||||
