Past Walks

Mt May East Ridge and Gorge 14 May 2011

Eight people including two newcomers came along for this walkto explore Mt May on a beautiful sunny day.

David decided to start the walk from about halfway up theWaterfall Creek Rd leading up to Cleared Ridge. This wouldsave us some time and decrease the amount of uphill walking,giving us more time to explore and take in the scenery.

The walk was initially on a dirt road which changed into a rough

track and then there was a section of scrambling up a small cliffface. Luckily there were plenty of hand and foot holds andeveryone eventually made it to the summit of Mt May. Here wesat down for a rest on some rocky slabs and admired the viewsto Maroon Dam and to Mt Barney.

Views of Mt Barney from Mt May

From the summit we descended down the east ridge. There wasno track and the ridge was littered with loose rocks. We did haveviews though along the way and we stopped for morning tea ona rocky buttress.

Further down the ridge we had to descend a steep sectionthrough some heavy undergrowth to get into the gorge. Thebottom section of the gorge was overgrown with lantana but aswe ascended the lantana disappeared. High rock walls and arocky rocky creek made it an interesting walk. We negotiatedaround a waterfall and had lunch at the top.

Following the gorge further up we eventually came to the saddlebetween the two peaks of Mt May. From here it was a scrambleup and over the peak and then descending back to the cars.

Many thanks to David Haliczer for putting on this walk showingus parts of Mt May that are not seen via the regular way up.

Wilsons Peak 21 May 2011

Wilsons Peak is a prominent peak south of Teviot Gap andmarks the junction of the McPherson and Great Dividing Range.

There were eleven of us on this walk. I had talked with somelandowners and had received permission to cross their property.Thus we were able to do a walk up the western border route upto Wilsons Peak and down via the northern ridge to Teviot Gap.This involved just a short 4 kilometre car shuttle

We began walking along the border fence between Queenslandand New South Wales. The easy flat dirt road gave way to arough steep and slippery track as we gained height.

Along the way we had a short stop in memory of a member whotragically passed away after collapsing on this walk about a yearpreviously.

There were some views along the border route and we tookthem in as we regained our breath from the steep ascent. Theshort cliff scramble near the top was a challenge as the rocks

were slippery but we all made it up safely and finally stood onthe summit.

We had made good time and it was too early for lunch so weheaded down past the cliff scramble and then found the start ofthe northern ridge for the descent.

The northern ridge had once had a rabbit fence along it andthere were still remnants of post along the way. The track wasnot well defined and occasionally we had to skirt around someheavy undergrowth.

We had lunch in a clearing in the rainforest and then continuedon. There was a sudden change from rainforest to openeucalypt forest along the ridge, giving us views of the surrounds.However it was obvious that there had not been any recentbushwalkers along this way as the grass was more than chesthigh and we had to push our way through the foliage.

Finally we got to the edge of the private property and onto opencountry. It was then an easy walk back to the cars. Afternoontea at Boonah helped us all to relax and relive the walk.

Richard

Toolona Circuit 28 May 2011

An anticipated early start saw six souls depart from OReilly's fora tramp along the Tooloona Circuit.

Aileen and Norm had full backpacks for training and Bob hadearlier expressed a desire for a through walk so he was lashedup with my through pack whereupon, we set off with a steadypace for the 17.4k circuit.

With no leeches, streams of water on the tracks or fallen trees tonegotiate, the numerous creek crossings were traversed with

little effort. While the pounding waterfalls were an upliftingexperience, the beech forest shrouded with wisps of mossreminds one of an ancient era deserving of a reflective momentand a photo or two.

Upon reaching the Border Track, Steve had the task of holdingdown Bob once he relieved himself of the backpack as therewas a fear of Bob levitating over the ridge down into the valleybelow.

The return stretch saw us sharing the Border Track with literallybus loads of walkers heading out for a stretch. Maggie

Mt Barney via Logans and Savages Ridge 5 June 2011

Beginning not long before 7am, 9 walkers began this

adventurous hike making our way onto the foothill of LogansRidge. Three Duke of Edinburgh teachers came along to gainexperience and maintain currency in their skills as each of us(myself included) meet the requirements to become CertificateIV Bushwalking Instructors.

Half an hour into our walk, one of the Duke of Edinburgh peopledecided to return to their vehicle as they realised what we doingwas beyond their ability. I applaud his decision as an unselfishconsideration of the rest of the group. We made radio contact at8am to confirm he had made it back to the vehicle safely.

The use of the UHF radios on a walk proved useful where adifficult section made the progress slow so I deliberately spreadthe group out at this point maintaining radio contact with Richardwho would for this section act as tail end. Even so our progress

slowed a little as we reached above the 1000m mark due to acase of cramps. A Gastrolyte tablet and some massage therapyfrom Rone made sure that this did not remain a problem forlong.

Our morning tea break on top of East Peak had to be quick togive us more time for a lunch break on top of West Peak. Therewere no problems descending to Barney Saddle where werefilled our water bottles and our ascent up West Peak was fairlyswift or seemed so.

Descending off West Peak after lunch was tricky it always isas there is a steep slippery gully to negotiate coming down.Rope was used to offer moral support although most peopleonly used it for balance.

The lovely part of this descent is the manoeuvre where each

person has to lie down and hug a rock and then swivel theirbody around over a cliff to the other side of the rock to find footholds to descend down from. This was for each of us anenjoyable part of the unusual moves needed to get through theday.

On Savages Ridge with West Peak behind

West of West Peak is the truly pure wilderness part of the walk.A track if it exists is barely discernible and the route remains likethis through dense heath until Savages Point is reached. There

is a wonderful view of the peaks of Barney that makes this walkso special and I have included this as the photo for the walkwrite-up.

Unfortunately it got dark as we descended Savages Ridge andthere was a lot of scunge to negotiate and bash through on thelower slopes of Savages Ridge. Had there been more light thiswould not have been an issue as the less dense scrub is easierto see and lantana easier to avoid.

We did not reach the cars until 8pm in the evening and a quickbite to eat at McDonalds at Beaudesert where the minimumneed was a mighty Angus burger but the promise of a little bitfancy was a bit of a high expectation.

A long marathon effort for a bushwalk is well worth undertakingat least once a year. The fact that we had 8 completing this walk

suggests the days of the long hard walks have not yet come toan end. I hope they never do.

Happy walking everyone David H

Mt Lindesay Cliffs 19 June 2011

This walk was to the base of the cliffs of Mt Lindesay and offerssome superb views. There were six of us on this walk and as wearrived at the Mt Lindesay border gate we could see the SESand Police there. They were preparing to bring down the body ofa climber who had tragically fallen to his death the previous day.Even though we would be going to where he fell, the policeallowed us to continue.

Mt Lindesay

We walked along the border fence for several kilometres along amuddy road. Finally we came to the corner where we had toascend up to the base of the cliffs.

The Police made us wait a while as the team of SES volunteersmade their way up too. The walk up to the cliffs was steep andslippery, though the SES had it worse as they had to take astretcher up. We were again asked to wait as they began theprocess of loading his body and bringing it down. It was a sadmoment as Patricia and I had known this climber for manyyears.

Once the SES had descended past us we continued on alongthe base of the cliffs to the west. There were numerous smallwaterfalls and some views into NSW. We stopped to have lunchon some dry ground and Neil pointed out South Bald Rock in

Girraween on the horizon.We descended via a west ridge which gave us views of thesurrounds and the top of Mt Lindesay. The initial part of thedescent was in rainforest but lower down it was open eucalyptforest. Many thanks to my fellow walkers. Richard

Neglected Mountain 3 July 2011

We had eight happy walkers for this walk. We drove in twovehicles down the dirt road opposite Stinson Park and parked asfar in as we could get. We proceeded to walk up the road to thegate (which confirms access to Lamington National Park).

Upon leaving the cars, it is all up, up, up. Our first quick stopwas by an old outhouse (toilet), old shed and old picnic table. It

was noted there was a group off road bikes riding, one of whomraced down to us, and informed us they were allowed to bethere.

I noticed ahead on our track some other bushwalkers whichturned out to be a man and his son, who were going to walk viathe Stretcher Track to the Stinson Wreck, camping for oneovernight. We paused now and again on the road heading up tothe saddle, momentarily catching up each time to the man andhis son. They started off first to cut across to the saddle, via oldcow trails, however the son slipped down where the track wassomewhat washed out. John helped the boy, collecting up someof his items from his pack etc. Once we reached the saddle weleft the man and his son going in the opposite direction.

Going Up Neglected Mt

There was a bit of wispy cloud sweeping in, threatening our

views. We carefully picked our way over a couple of rockyoutcrops to the top of a plateau section where we had morningtea. We then headed along the edge of the plateau, with StinsonPark and the Recreation Camp to our right. It slopes gentlydown and shortly thereafter we reached the razorback. It isreally easy to follow here as there is a well worn track in the longgrass.

Once again we carefully made our way along the razorback,pausing now and again for photographs of the magnificent viewsacross the valley, with Mt Barney and Mt Lindsay on the horizon.Two of our walkers were in training today with overnight packs,so they were slightly disadvantaged to the rest of us whenpushing past through bushes and small trees etc.

Once at the end of the razorback we followed the track up the

other side to the top of Neglected Mountain for a relaxed lunchbefore making a return journey to the cars, with just a couple ofstops along the way.

Thanks to everyone who joined me on what is a very worthwhilewalk. Marion

Risk Management GuidelinesThis will be a continuing series about Risk Management using the guidelines as proposed by Bushwalking Australia.

QBW began officially developing Risk Management guidelines back in 2005. However even before then, the Club had in place a fewchecks and measures to ensure that bushwalking was as safe and enjoyable for everyone as possible.

In 2007 QBW developed a full set of Risk Management guidelines when it hosted the Pilgrimage that year.

However Risk Management is not something you set up and then forget but an ongoing process.

Below is the Risk Matrix as developed by Club members back in 2007. Any suggestions from members about any additions,updates or comments would be most welcome to ensure that we make bushwalking as safe as possible without taking away theenjoyment factor of walking in the wilderness.
