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 […]
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 […]
