As much as possible, in the longest possible time.
July 2022 – It took 2 years, but it was great to be able to stumble around Mt Barney again. Run buddy Geoff hatched an idea to head up Logan’s Ridge as something a little more challenging than usual – so sure, sign me up! (I wouldn’t be surprised if Geoff had a secret tattoo […]
April 2022 – Options! This is an easy mountain that is a lot of fun, and at just 767m you can do it a few times and still love it. The lush Palm Gorge gives some great shade to keep the heat off on a hot day. A list of the routes from left to […]
October 2021 – It’s so close and accessible, that Fraser Island (unless you have been) seems like something you will get around to one day, and then you are slow to prioritise… Tip: Prioritise!! Wanting a week that was a ‘break’ (and looking at questionable weather), we put camping aside, and booked some accomodation. There […]
September 2021 – Short on time and needing a clone of the more challenging Tibrogargan? Enter Tibberoowuccum, the 40 min round-trip little brother complete with great 360° views from a little pad up the top! → 1. Park at the base: The Barrs Rd circuit walk car park https://goo.gl/maps/cyURXoLeTvP4u8fMA → 2. Add a 4km return […]
September 2021 – Thanks to Spicers in June 2020, a new trail was opened allowing you to traverse across a full length section of the Scenic Rim (Great Dividing Range), affording views off the specular range looking back to Brisbane. It’s a near-term achievable (new) bucket list item – it’s so close to Brisbane and […]
August 2021 – This is a quick stroll if you just want to get out of town (round trip walk 1.5 hours and you’re done!), and it’s a level 0 on the hardness scale (beginner friendly) because it’s all on a fire trail. A bonus is the fantastic start spot of Hardings Paddock Picnic Area […]
Pre-Spiel Back to where it all started – my first expedition race was XPD 2015 – so the opportunity to race a 500km+ XPD again is pretty tempting when there’s a good team and location (within the state) on offer!With Adam (2019 Alpine Quest teammate) again on task by the organisers to haul his supply […]
Pre-Spiel When we all heard that arguably Australia’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 […]
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 […]
