July 2020 –
The Sunshine Coast Hinterland Great Walk is some 56 km long, but can be broken up into little bits.
Here we did a 2 day adventure with overnight camp of the Mapleton National Park loop.
Approaching from the Kenilworth direction we started at the Sam Kelly Road entry ~12pm.
It took us up and along a couple of ridge line view points overlooking the valley, for a total of 18 km day one, ending 1.5km off the loop up at the Ubajee Camp (after a very refreshing swim at the falls!).
A nice variety of greenery; dry bush to rainforests.
An easy walk out the next day just 9km and relatively flat-ter.
