The Falls Drive

View from Carrs Lookout

The Falls Drive takes you on a scenic route past Boonah to Killarney via Teviot Gap and has numerous short walks along the way. If you're after a more relaxing day out with some short walks this should definitely be high on your list.

Mt. Greville: Waterfall Gorge

Mt. Greville

Date: 21 Sep 2013

Here's a walk that I never got around to posting from last year. Directions for getting to the carpark of Mt. Greville and the start of the track can be found in my previous report about Palm Gorge here. Ever since completing that first walk Mt. Greville has been a bit of a favourite location of mine. I've since taken some family up Palm Gorge and have been back a couple of times rock climbing in Waterfall Gorge. However, until this point I still hadn't been all the way up via this route.

Mt. Maroon

Date: 13/08/2014

Mt. Maroon is part of the Mt. Barney N.P. and is located near Rathdowney, South of Brisbane. The Ekka holiday was once again upon us and, as usual, rather than deal with the hordes at the show I decided to head out for a walk. Mt. Maroon provides stunning views over the district and some of the most interesting geological formations in S.E. Queensland.

Weekend at Binna Burra

Back in May, Maree and I spent the weekend at Binna Burra. The weather wasn't that great, but we still managed to fit in the Cave's Circuit (highly recommended) and a small circuit out along the Border Track. These are a few images from the weekend.

Banff Mountain Film Festival: Radical Reels

Dates for the Banff Mountain Film Festival: Radical Reels Tour were announced last week.

"Designed to keep audiences on the edges of their seats, the films feature daring footage of some of the most accomplished climbers, paddlers, BASE jumpers, skiers, snowboarders and mountain-bike riders alive today. Each action-packed short has been hand-picked from more than 300 entries to the most recent Banff Mountain Festival (the largest and most prestigious mountain-adventure, -culture and -exploration festival in the world)."

We attended the standard Banff Mountain Film Festival Roadshow earlier in the year and had an amazing night. The quality of the films was stunning and anyone that enjoys outdoor activities will no-doubt be blown away.

The dates for Brisbane are:

• Tuesday 18 November
• Wednesday 19 November
• Thursday 20 November
• Friday 21 November

The Brisbane Powerhouse is a great venue so be sure not to miss out.

Winter Update

Mt. Greville

I hope everyone is making the most of the best time of year to get out bushwalking in S.E. Queensland? This time of year is particularly good to head out to the Main Range and Moogerah Peaks National Parks where the often exposed terrain can be draining in the summer heat.

Gwongoorool Pool

Date: 25 April 2014

Gwongoorool Pool is located on the Upper Coomera River within Lamington N.P. in the Gold Coast Hinterland. If you're after a swim in beautiful crystal clear pools with perfect stoney beds then this could be the walk for you. Just watch out for the eel!
