Leader - Julie
Total Distance: - 12.0k
Walkers – John, Mary, Christine, Helen & Grahame, Jackie, Carol, Sue, Colin, Julie
We set off from O'Reillys at 9 am. Everything was lovely and green after the rain we'd had recently. We went clockwise and were aiming to have morning tea at Yambacoochie Falls as not really anywhere else to sit on the way and we had lunch there one other time when we went the opposite way. It is just a little way off the Box Forest Circuit. It was getting later and everyone was really ready for their morning tea but when we got to the turn off it was closed off with orange fencing.

John took us on another of his exploratory walks from Mt Tamborine. We started off at Staffsmith Park and made our way down to Caballo Road. After making a directional error we stopped for Smoko to discuss the best way to retrace our steps and get back on track.

Saturday, 22 February 2014
Leader - Steve
Total Distance: - 18.0k
Walkers – Helen & Grahame, Colin, Christine, Jackie, Delle, John, Michele, Carol, Lyn, Mary, Steve
Despite there being rain on the Friday night and the prospect of a very long, wet walk, we had a very good attendance for Saturdays walk. All up we had twelve walkers who met at the upper car park at Binna Burra at around 8.30 am. We had intended to do the walk in a clockwise direction but four of the walkers wanted an easier day so we changed our plans and walked in the normal direction. This would enable the four walkers to walk with us as far as the Coomera Gorge Lookout before turning around and returning to Binna Burra.
2014-02-08 - Killarney Glen - Emerald Pools
Bushwalkers - News (Bushwalkers)
Sunday, 09 February 2014
Leader - Colin
Total Distance: - Killarney Glen - 6.0k, Denham Reserve 3.0k
Walkers – Paul, John, Leonie & Peter, Colin
It was a glorious start to the day after expectations that it might be wet. Five of us made our way to Killarney Glen. As there was only a handful of us further exploration of this beautiful area was high on the agenda.
After arriving at the camp site and making out way down to Killarney Falls we discussed exploration options. We decided we would go up to the track on the eastern side and then make our way up to a gully which Pat Fitzgerald had described as being above the Emerald Pools. As we made our way up we passed the junction to the Amethyst Fields.

Why does attentiveness to nature matter? In a very fundamental sense, we are what we pay attention to. Paying heed to beauty, grace, and everyday miracles promotes a sense of possibility and coherence that runs deeper and truer than the often illusory commercial, social "realities" advanced by mainstream contemporary culture. ... Our attention is precious, and what we choose to focus it on has enormous consequences. What we choose to look at, and to listen to--these choices change the world. As Thich Nhat Hanh has pointed out, we become the bad television programs that we watch. A society that expends its energies tracking the latest doings of the celebrity couple is fundamentally distinct from one that watches for the first arriving spring migrant birds, or takes a weekend to check out insects in a mountain stream, or looks inside flowers to admire the marvelous ingenuities involved in pollination. The former tends to drag culture down to its lowest commonalities; the latter can lift us up in a sense of unity with all life.
