Getting in touch with nature through bushwalking and hiking is one of my favourite pastimes.
We are lucky in Australia to have many spectacular national parks, beach and mountains that beckon to be climbed.
Here are some of my adventures.

Lake St Clair – walking the Overland Track from Echo Point to Cynthia Bay
Tasmania is truly a place of great beauty. So much hidden beauty in particular. I had [...]
Mount Warning… one of the great climbs of the Tweed Range
Mount Warning has been on my radar for sometime. I was visiting Springbrook National Park’s Best [...]
Mount Coolum… a favourite Sunshine Coast climb with spectacular sunrise coastal views…

We are slowly running out of mountains on the Sunshine Coast to climb, but Mt Eerwah [...]
Mt Cooroora… Sunshine Coast views that would make any ‘king of the mountain’ happy
Mt Cooroora has been on my ‘to climb’ radar for quite some time. We had done [...]
climbing the glass house mountains…
Climbing Mount Beerwah… the prize of the Glasshouse Mountains
Having climbed most of the Glass House Mountains, the only one really left to climb was the prize, Mount Beerwah. Mount Beerwah’s summit route had been closed to the public for a number of years [...]
A guide to the climbing the Glass House Mountains…
At the beginning of the year I decided that this year I was going to fill my some of weekends with a little adventure and climb the Glass House Mountains. I guess it was a [...]
Mt Beerburrum… another great Glass House Mountain walk…
In seeking out our weekend vistas, we find ourselves with another weekend gone and another Glass House Mountain nailed. This time one of the babies of the collection - Mt Beerburrum. Located on the outskirts [...]
Mt Tunbubudla… the Glass House Mountains Twins
I was itching for another Glass House Mountain adventure. We have nailed a few of the Glass House Mountains of late, so it is starting to be slim pickings with only a few to go, [...]
Wild Horse Mountain… a scenic Glass House Mountain vantage point
In my goal to climb all of the Glass House Mountains this year, Wild Horse Mountain was the next to be conquered… well, ok, it can hardly be called ‘conquering’, and if you want to [...]
Mt Ngungun… the greatest sunset viewing vantage point on the Sunshine Coast
O.K. I have officially found my favourite… Glass House Mountain that is. Well, actually, not quite true. Mt Beerwah is actually my favourite, but we are not allowed to climb that one at the moment [...]
Mt Tibberoowuccum… a Glass House Mountain less travelled
I decided at the beginning of the year that this year I was going to climb all of the Glass House Mountains and today we climbed the third (though it is officially my fifth – [...]
Mt Tibrogargan – a summit view of the Glass House Mountains
I was feeling rather ambitious this Australia Day… thinking a family walk would be a nice Australian way to see the day in and I had always wanted to ‘walk’ to the top of Mt [...]
more hiking + bushwalking stories…
Lake St Clair – walking the Overland Track from Echo Point to Cynthia Bay
Tasmania is truly a place of great beauty. So much hidden beauty in particular. I had heard much about Cradle Mountain, and have done a few fleeting visits over the years. But this time I [...]
Mount Warning… one of the great climbs of the Tweed Range
Mount Warning has been on my radar for sometime. I was visiting Springbrook National Park’s Best of All Lookout some months back, when I stood on the edge of the lookout and pointed out to [...]
Mount Coolum… a favourite Sunshine Coast climb with spectacular sunrise coastal views…
Having climbed/walked most of the prominent peaks of the Sunshine Coast, I almost overlooked the most obvious one; Mount Coolum. Not because I haven’t climbed it, but because I climb it so frequently I actually [...]
Mt Eerwah – climbing the Sunshine Coast…
We are slowly running out of mountains on the Sunshine Coast to climb, but Mt Eerwah has been on my radar for a while, and it was finally time. It was rumoured to be one [...]
Mt Cooroora… Sunshine Coast views that would make any ‘king of the mountain’ happy
Mt Cooroora has been on my ‘to climb’ radar for quite some time. We had done a string of easy climbs, and I was up for the challenge. In actual fact, this was ‘take two’ [...]
Mt Tinbeerwah… fantastic views of Noosa and the Sunshine Coast’s magnificent coastline
Mt Tinbeerwah is probably one of the easiest climbs (read ‘walks’) you would find yourself doing. Actually, it is not really a climb at all, so I shouldn’t mislead you by saying it is. And [...]
Mt Ninderry… beautiful views of the Sunshine Coast, Mt Coolum and beyond
It’s funny, Mt Ninderry is just up the road from where I live, and while I look at it on pretty much a daily basis, I had never walked up it – or thought to. [...]
Springbrook National Park… the Gold Coast’s best kept secret
I feel like I have been living in a cave. Believe it or not, I had never heard of Springbrook National Park. It was only after my husband spoke of Springbrook that I asked, “What [...]

Nourlangie Rock… the breathtaking vistas of Kakadu National Park
I am always in for an adventure, new frontiers, new breathtaking panoramic vistas… I think I am a view junkie, if there is such a thing. I like finding somewhere rare and remote, climbing to [...]
Mt Tunbubudla… the Glass House Mountains Twins
I was itching for another Glass House Mountain adventure. We have nailed a few of the Glass House Mountains of late, so it is starting to be slim pickings with only a few to go, [...]

Beautiful, beautiful Moreton Island… 4WD escape to tranquility
Beautiful... yes, definitely beautiful. I was in two minds about writing about my recent visit to Moreton Island. It was so incredibly BEAUTIFUL, I wanted to scream it from the rooftops, but one of the [...]
