My Great! Sunday walk

 

I've explored bits of the Sunshine Coast Great! Walk before. Track closures due to flood damage prevented me doing the first section properly though: Baroon Pocket Dam to Kondalilla Falls.

Yesterday I took advantage of the good weather and the patched up track, and off I went.

It's a bit under 20km to do the return walk, including the loop around Kondalilla Falls, and there are a few hundred metres of ascents and descents. I was keen to check that my joints and muscles were still up to it, what with some recent 'mobility issues' dating back I think to my Covid episode of a few months ago. (I'd hate to end up like the Queen, at least not just yet.)


 

 

Here's the destroyed bridge near the start, officially by-passed now with a sandbag walkway.

This gallivanting goanna caused a bit of a stir at the picnic area at the top of the falls.
