Bowling Green Bay National Park
A moderate day walk to remote Sunset Beach on Cape Cleveland, with rough track, coastal forest, big views, a relaxing swim, lunch by the sea, and a return through one of Bowling Green Bay National Park's quieter, lesser-visited corners.
Eight walkers explored the historic mining country of Hidden Valley Ewan over Easter 2025, camping beside creeks, visiting restored batteries, wandering through abandoned settlements, and enjoying a unique three-day adventure on private land.
Bowling Green Bay National Park
A rugged off-track adventure. Expect technical rock hopping, granite caves, slabby waterfalls, and refreshing swimming holes in a hidden tropical creek gorge.
Saltwater Creek Gorge in Clemant State Forest delivered a rewarding off-track adventure with hidden cattle pads, fresh landslips, rocky creek travel, granite pools, and a scenic gorge swim - a memorable North Queensland club hike.
Tully Falls National Park
This Tully Gorge trip was a tough exploratory bushwalk through giant house-sized boulders, caves, swims, and underground waterfalls. Although the full loop was abandoned, the day delivered scrambling, adventure, and a memorable taste of this wild gorge.
Paluma
After years, Luen finally explored Williams Creek with Debbie and found the small falls he had long suspected were there. A fun off-track day of ridgeline walking, creek hopping, rainforest scenery, and a swim.
