July 2022 – It took 2 years, but it was great to be able to stumble around Mt Barney again. Run buddy Geoff hatched an idea to head up Logan’s Ridge as something a little more challenging than usual – so sure, sign me up! (I wouldn’t be surprised if Geoff had a secret tattoo […]
April 2022 – Options! This is an easy mountain that is a lot of fun, and at just 767m you can do it a few times and still love it. The lush Palm Gorge gives some great shade to keep the heat off on a hot day. A list of the routes from left to […]

September 2021 – Thanks to Spicers in June 2020, a new trail was opened allowing you to traverse across a full length section of the Scenic Rim (Great Dividing Range), affording views off the specular range looking back to Brisbane.

Pre-Spiel Back to where it all started – my first expedition race was XPD 2015 – so the opportunity to race a 500km+ XPD again is pretty tempting when there’s a good team and location (within the state) on offer!With Adam (2019 Alpine Quest teammate) again on task by the organisers to haul his supply […]
March 2021 – Well who would have thought you could find such peaceful serenity so accessibly close to home – it’s perhaps an embarrassment we haven’t been here before! With our trail run friends we discovered the area over the course of a weekend… In the end we didn’t want to leave. A Friday night […]
A simple list of camping items based on 2 people and a small child going on an overnight hike camping trip. More or less this is just our list for safe keeping. Two full backpacks ~15-20kg and really, that’s with only the essentials in there..! But first: Book the campsite in advance!! Child Carrier Backpack […]
August 2020 – On the long list of places to visit, Mt Barney had been a matter of timing (and also thinking it was further away/takes longer to get to than it actually does..!). Thankfully our friends lead by Tiger Trev were heading there so we made a weekend of it. Lead by veteran Barneyman […]
