If you haven’t walked with me before, please contact me before signing up.
This walk is part of the very scenic Sunshine Coast Hinterland Great Walk and is the only section that can be done in one day as a loop (rather than returning the way you came). It’s about 17-20km (5-6hrs) and involves creek crossings and hills, so is best suited to moderately fit walkers who don’t mind getting muddy wet feet. The start is about 2hrs from Cleveland and parking is limited, so carpooling is recommended.
Please check the daywalk kit list for what to bring. Poles are highly recommended for the creek crossings, and clean clothes to change into before driving home.

NB: keep an eye on messages in case the walk is cancelled due to weather, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. If you’ve never done anything like this but are confident you’re fit enough, it should be fine but please contact me before signing up. theprestonhome@gmail.com or text 0417665382
