Hikes in Queensland

A circuit route, about 60% inside rainforest, with a few lookouts and some good scenery (clear views of Springbrook and Mt. Merino). Not difficult, sometimes close to cliff-edges.

An approx. 2 1/2 hour hike over 8.8 km and 350 metres in altitude up Mt. Wongawallan (378m). Most of the hike leads through forest and is quite steep in places. On the mountain you have a view of the Gold Coast.

A circuit route mostly inside rainforest but also with many lookouts and great scenery. Not difficult, but close to cliff-edges, so you shouldn't suffer from acrophobia (scared of heights).

Explore beautiful creeks in partially dense jungle.

Long track (16km approx. 4-5 hours walking) and one particularly steep hill in the middle but overall easy terrain mostly along old fire breaks/logging roads. Only 20mins drive from Brisbane CBD.

Extended the Augies Circuit route slightly by leaving from Boombana. Water is unreliable at Cabbage Tree Creek but it’s a great spot for a break before the big hill. This track is best walked anti-clockwise as shown. Water is usually available at Scrub Road bush camp. From Boombana it’s a short walk up to the Rainforest Cafe at Mt Nebo (access of rainforest cct - postman’s track)

Rainforest track, following the origins of the Coomera River. Passing lots of waterfalls and creeks. Technical easy to walk but can be slightly difficult after heavy rain (creek crossings etc.). It can be done in 5 1/2 hours, but you might want to add 1 1/2 hours for rest stops and enjoying the various waterfalls.

The pick of the accessible rainforest walks in D’Aguilar. Upgraded picnic area at Maila is great. Rainforest cafe is a nearby hidden gem.

See a different side to Maleny with this route taking in the Obi Obi, Showgrounds, Broone's Meadow, and much more. In 90 minutes you will see a lot and hopefully be surprised at how much fun you can have away from Maple Street.

Boombana-Jolly’s Lookout return including Egernia and Rainforest Circuits. This walk extends a very easy 8km return walk on the Thylogale track by adding some elevation and another 3km. Walking from the Boombana end is usually better to avoid getting caught in the more exposed wet eucalypt forest at the Jolly’s end in hot weather. This takes just over 2 hours.
