I returned again to Mapleton Falls National Park yesterday, and pieced its geography together a bit better in my mind.
I find I'm liking this area more and more, and I've been discovering new potential for a few more good-sized bushwalking circuits to be navigated.
Here are some of the day's scenic highlights.
Sunday's walk with the bushwalkers was another excellent off-track up-the-creek adventure.
We were near Mapleton and the Mapleton National Park, and did a loop, starting at the currently very dry Gheerulla Falls.
We made our way to the top of this, then onward and upward, negotiating a few more falls and canyons and things, before heading out along an easy fire trail.
Yes, that's what it's called: The Great Walk. So I figured I'd better take a look at it. It's a 58km multi-day walk traversing the Blackall Range in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. And you can do bits at a time.
I walked an 11km circuit from Mapleton Falls lookout to the Ubajee Walkers Camp and back. It was.... well, pretty good! Especially the rainforesty bits
