Here is a relatively new and little known but fully signed and maintained walk on one of the Southern Moreton Bay islands.

Maps of more challenging bushwalks
Ravensbourne Falls
Thanks to Mike for his help with this – the trail is being developed by the locals and the last stretch along the creek to the falls is unformed.
Maleny Trail
A recent development connecting Maleny in the Sunshine Coast almost as far as Gardners Falls – when the bridge is built.
Glen Rock
Glen Rock State Forest has a little-used bushwalk and also a cycling / horse-riding trail along the creek to the Top Yards.
Dwyers Scrub
Lake Perseverance
A little-known trail described in “Bush Walks in the Toowoomba Region” by McKilligan and Savage.
Family Bushwalks in South East Queensland
My new book created with Gillian Duncan is now available for purchase at www.familybushwalks.com.au. It’s our third book, following two books of recreational trails for cyclists; this one is aimed at walkers and runners who want to go bush without committing to long distances or lots of climbing.
300 walks are described in detail including of course a brand new fully researched topo map showing all points of entry, resources like water and shelter, and making clear the effort required to complete the walk.
Duke of Edinburgh Expedition
Here is a map I made for the Numinbah Valley Environmental Education Centre for the upcoming Duke of Edinburgh Expedition where youngsters walk 15km from Springbrook to NVEEC then kayak 5km to the Western Boatramp.
Mount Coochin
The northernmost and one of the lesser Glass House Mountains, Mt Coochin has no formal walking trails to the twin peaks. Protective clothing, stout shoes and a sense of humour may be advisable, but lots of adventurous families make it to the top(s) every year. We have not visited this map so the details cannot be entirely trusted:
Diamond Valley
This trail was rejected for our Family Bushwalks book because it is in poor condition.
