Distance: 19.4k

A clear, bright, cool day.  Perfect for an attack on Illinbah Circuit, one we haven't done since 2014 due to closures.

A slow first half as we gingerly navigated all the Coomera River crossings.  We managed to get through unscathed and dry with no-one falling in.

All agreed that this is a wonderful walk and deserves a place on the calendar every year - Colin

Distance: 6.7k

A clear, bright, warm day.  Perfect for an ascent up Mt Maroon and perfect for 360 degree vistas of the mighty Moogerah Peaks from the summit.

We quickly found out that to get to the caves would have to be left to a specific walk in the future.  We saw clear glimpses of them on the way in.  

A popular spot now as we saw dozens of walkers and a couple of climbers who had just completed the ascent.

A fabulous walk that had everything. Must go on the calendar as a regular walk for us. Beautiful company and Pamela Davis said, lots of laughs and fun.

This was a walk not to be missed and all thoroughly enjoyed the variety of scenery, the rain showers and the bush bashing requiring navigation skills.

We started with some trepidation as wind and rain was predicted for the day.  Nothing to fear as the weather stayed fine all day with some breezes to keep us cool.
Lots of wildlife with red bellied blacks, eels, goanas and spiders.

A magnicent long haul today.  The views from all of the lookouts were spectacular.  Leeches were a problem as usual for all of us and Christine this time suffered the worst.  Thanks to Gary and Michele who provided an overnight stay for an early start, and of course the now traditional delicious chocolate cake washed down with coffee and tea.  A spectacular weekend of walking which incorporated a short walk to Denham Scenic Reserve.
