As much as possible, in the longest possible time.
Pre-Spiel When we all heard that arguably Australis’s top Adventure Racer – Rob Preston – was going to create a new race, it was just a question of logistics. After all, flying interstate to a race these days come with risks..I was lucky enough to land a spot with team Rogue Adventure – with my […]
March 2021: Well who would have thought you could find such peaceful serenity so accessibly close to home – it’s perhaps an embarrassment we haven’t been here before! With our trail run friends we discovered the area over the course of a weekend… In the end we didn’t want to leave. A Friday night launch […]
January 2021: Its hot, we need fresh air, we need refresh-ing! When you’re feeling adventurously lazy, Tambo is just so easy (to please you) scooting between several lush walks with very little/zero effort and planning required… And you can start late and still see it all (if you want). Coming from Brisbane, we came via […]
A simple list of camping items based on 2 people and a small child going on an overnight hike camping trip. More or less this is just our list for safe keeping. Two full backpacks ~15-20kg and really, that’s with only the essentials in there..! But first: Book the campsite in advance!! Child Carrier Backpack […]
Pre-Speil Chief team organiser, Tiger Trevor Mullins asked me to join his team as they had their navigator stuck in NZ and unable to get across the ditch. Happily I was joining Trev and the Pocket Rockets Sara and Nicole. I would say I was fitness ready, so that was OK, but poor Sara had […]
August 2020: On the long list of places to visit, Mt Barney had been a matter of timing (and also thinking it was further away/takes longer to get to than it actually does..!). Thankfully our friends lead by Tiger Trev were heading there so we made a weekend of it. Lead by veteran Barneyman (and […]
August 2020 – For good reason this is touted as one of the most spectacular hikes, and we completely agree! For better or worse everyone makes a bit of a deal about the hike but the reality is, it is very straight forward and not that hard at all. We followed this route from Wikiloc […]
August 2020 – So close to Ipswich and easily accessible, this climb offers cheap and easy thrills (just over an hour each way!). In fact, you don’t even need to go right to the top – the best part is actually an undulating rock spine with cliff and views either side, about 3/4 of the […]
July 2020 – The Sunshine Coast Hinterland Great Walk is some 56 km long, but can be broken up into little bits. Topographical map link. 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 […]
July 2020 – Only a short trip from Brisbane, this was an easy one. A little bit of claggy mud down the entry section, and a carefully placed foot required in a gorge climb near the top, else a great rewarding easy day trip. 6.35km from the car park and 3 hours return. If staying […]
