This is a graded walking track to Mt Mitchell, one of two peaks on either side of Cunningham's Gap. It's a well worn track, heading through Rain forest & Eucalyptus Forest, rewarding us with great views of Main Range, the Moogerah Peaks and through to Mt Barney.
The walk is approximately 10kms return, of moderate grade for experienced bushwalkers and should us between 2.5 to 3 hours to complete. We will leave Brisbane at 7.00am by way of car-pooling, which we will assist in coordinating (meeting point to be determined by our AW walk host, Chris prior to commencement). Those car-pooling, it would be appreciated if passengers offer the driver money for fuel. The drive is 1.5 hours west of Brisbane.
Meeting Time: 7.00am
Meeting Place: McDonalds, Blunder Rd Oxley (near Bunnings)

This was a lovely triple walk. Each one was easy with nice breaks in between to recover if needed. I absolutely loved the last walk and it’s wonderful cascading waterfalls. Meeting at a designated spot in midland and car pooling was a great idea. And the food that was available at the meeting spot was delicious. No need to pre pack your lunch. Yum…..
And as always Jazzy was full of information about the areas we were visiting.
First timer and had a great time, lovely group of ladies and I look forward to many more
What a great to spend a beautiful day. Beautiful scenery and great company.
Great day, but a very long one. Would have loved to had had a longer walk with BYO lunch at Point Lookout rather than lunch at the pub just because of the time it takes with that many people. Overall fabulous day . Girls always pull out the fantastic goodies for afternoon tea which is so lovely.
This was a great walk - beautiful place to walk. Betty is fantastic - there is never any pressure to try and keep up with the group and so I can walk at my own pace - with Betty keeping a close eye out.
Sue was always at hand when we needed her, and the meals were great. Jazz looked after us all day, and I think I got extra attention because I was old, although I think she will agree that I managed OK. And Leonie was just an extra bonus, especially with her i-phone tips.
A fabulous first hike with Adventurous Women!
Well-organised and with a great group of women.
Flinders Peak has been on my bucket list for a few years now and I am so glad that I have finally reached the summit. It is not an easy hike but it is challenging in that it is mostly uphill with a rocky ridge to walk along and many more rocks to climb. I loved it and would do it again. Thanks AW for hosting a great day out. As usual, your guides are welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful.
