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 because 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 walk 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 […]
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 – Another short trip from Brisbane, Mt Maroon was really fun given the conditions and the variety of the terrain and vegetation.Because of the rain there was a little bit of claggy mud down the entry section (car loved it too hmm), and a carefully placed foot was required in a gorge climb […]
November 2019 – A campground to revisit again sometime! Christmas Creek Campground was the perfect spot to camp, set on the bank of the flowing creek which is perfect during hot summer days. From the car park the walk was fairly short to the Stinson turnoff (flagged with tap/”before the grave”), and that was a […]
