@@RobertPreece-h6r I didn't miss them on purpose , I walked far more than in the video, most on the old roads but I'm really aware of the disease through there for the grass trees so I stayed on the roads mostly. It well known about the mines in Steiglitz but this part of the Brisbane ranges isn't know for its gold, only partly for quarrying. There is a lot more in that part of the area to check out.

I'm slightly thinking I could enjoy this hobby. I did see one of your tapes mentioning footwear and the price was on the wrong side of 200 I believe. How do you know you buying the right size ? I mean I would hate to spend 200 on a pair of 8's , then find out they hurt my feet and I'm better for a size 9. What were the footwear mentioned in this tape ? - I heard you say them but I did not understand.

Hi there. That's a really good question. I use Hoka Speedgoat 5. ( now superseded by Speedgoat 6, haven't tried them on yet) Great comfort, amazing grip, they are light, dry fast and are stable, they have a wide tread. They were $279 though, ouch. I'm about to go onto my third pair now, they last about 700kms for me until they start to compress the foam. What i originally did when i started going bush was this. 1 / Reviews: Look for feedback from other hikers to see how certain models perform in various conditions. You tube is great for this. Just type in "trail runners", "hiking shoes or boots" 2 / Consider Terrain: Different trails (rocky, muddy, hilly) require different shoe features, such as tread pattern and cushioning. 3/ Try Before You Buy: Visit a store that specialises in running or outdoor gear. Try on various brands and models. ( i went to the Running Warehouse ) 4/ Check for Fit: Look for a snug fit in the heel and midfoot with enough room in the toe box. Your toes should not feel cramped. 5/ Cushioning Preference: Decide how much cushioning you prefer. Some hikers like a more minimalist feel, while others prefer a cushioned ride. That is commonly refered to as "stack height". It's how much cushioning ( foam) you have between the tread and your foot. 6/ Weight of the Shoe: Lighter shoes are generally better for long distance, while heavier shoes might offer more protection and stability. Best thing to do is look at reviews, go try a few on and choose what feels good on your foot. Your feet will always ache after a decent walk but they should not be sore as in painful. Unfortunately, most are are the wrong side of $200 If i think of more ill add some more about this, I'm a bit short on time right now but i wanted to give you something to consider.

Oh wow great vid ty! I grew up in a nearby town and from the age of 16 spent many w/ends exploring Lerdederg Gorge back in the mid 80's to the late 90's. When the water was flowing it was always a pleasure to lower my hand to the stream and drink freely from it without worry and trout were plentiful. I hiked from O'Brians all the way sth to Mackenzie's flat on several occasions and there are a lot of very interesting places hidden around the vicinity of the river. There was always something captivating to see from Red belly black snakes hunting blackfish in the shallows to mountain goats traversing near vertical cliff faces with ease. Found some cool relics in the many open tunnels that were dug in search of gold by the old timers and was always astounded at their remarkable endurance and navigation of what can be very challenging terrain. One of my favourite finds was a boulder in the middle of the river that formed a shallow stream not too far nth of O'Brien's with the words "Enjoy the birds and the insects" along with a likeness of a dragonfly carved into it and the year 1969. Not far from it i found a beautiful smokey quartz crystal nicely terminated the size of a large thumb! The walk South was reminiscent of a scene from Jurassic Park and was well rewarded the further one was game enough to venture with not a single sign of modern life, soft drink cans and the like in sight. I revisited a few years ago and was deeply saddened by the lack of care and respect some people have for such a wonderful and majestic place. I'm so lucky to have experienced it in such a pristine state. I have toyed with the thought of returning once more to hike the length of the river only this time with a camera to capture the amazing variety of flora and fauna that Lerdederg is home to.

Wow thanks for sharing that. What a playground to have growing up. I remember I walked it a few times from the flat in the 90's after i hurt my knee at work for rehab. I cant remember how far i walked up stream but i got to a place where i couldn't go any further, it was like it was just a rock wall. I also caught trout in there. I remember walking along one day and hearing a splash, when i went to the water i saw a trout scuttle off up stream . I went back the next day and caught it, it only had one eye. That was all before the lower side of the eastern track collapsed and they closed it, i never went back until April 23. Now i love getting out there as much as i can and sharing it with others and exploring the history that most that most walk there don't even see.

Don't call me Shirley HA HA, I like the Wombat Hwy too. Also worth a look is Rob Parsons, he does similar walks in Tassie. Keep it up Hike iT!!

Ah yes, an oldie but a goodie, i couldn't help myself. There are signs of so so many wombat out there , Ive never seen one but Ive seen their calling cards all over the place. Thanks so much for commenting. Rob is one of the reasons i started going off track looking for things, i love his stuff, exploring the old trails and camps etc..
