Distance: 23.7k

2018-05-12 Ship Stern

A cool start to the day but bright sunshine soon warmed us up.  We did both Upper Ballunjui Falls plus Lower Ballunjui Falls and visited all the waterfalls and Lookouts along the way.

Total distance 23.7k but we managed this easily in the time available as we started half an hour earlier than our usual start time. 

Two new bushwalkers Cassie and Pam S enjoyed it immensely and will be back for more. 

Coffee and cake was enjoyed at Michele and Gary's farm where we did some more juggling of the calendar - Colin.

2018-04-28 Toolona Creek

Thirteen of us on another walk that had everything.  Waterfalls in full flow, heavy mist in the high forest, the verdant green of the mosses on those ancient Antarctic Beech trees.  Only light rain but this allowed us to see Lamington National Park rainforest at its best - Colin.

2018-04-14 Egg Rock & Natural Arch_104

An ambling walk today foreshortened by the threat of lightning and thunderstorms. 
No more climbing of Egg Rock as it has now been declared an Aboriginal cultural heritage area.
I wonder how many other beautiful sites of significance will be closed behind me.- Colin.

2018-03-04 Ballunjui Falls Abseil_116

Fingers sore, shoulders sore - but a great result. Another iconic fall done and dusted. Don't worry, my "check-in" person was Louise Haggerty. A lonely walk out by myself in the darkening forest but a thunderstorm and pelting rain was actually very welcome and refreshing after an extremely hard day.
My earlier estimate of two 60 metre ropes was spot on (each person carrying 60 metres) but being by myself I only had one so had to find many more anchorages for short pitches.- Colin.

2018-01-27 Lower Bellbird Circuit_126

How fortunate am I? Great walk today with Tamborine Mountain Bushwalkers to Lower Bellbird Circuit at Binna Burra, including the beautiful Ballanjui Falls. In fact, this walk has to rate up there with one of my favourites. Saw a large snake, a fat lizard, a little hopping marsupial, and heard lots of birds. Weather wasn't too hot, light breeze and great company including three "newbies" - Christine D

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. The Way of Natural History, edited by Thomas Lowe Fleischner and published by Trinity University Press (Texas)
