I did this during December 2020 wet season when the creeks and falls were flowing after lots of rain, the mist was thick and the plants were lush and green from plenty of water. The walk was magical and because it was deceptively overcast with light rain I had this beautiful oasis to myself. The plant & tree life was amazing with diverse species (many explained with interpretive signage). I spotted lots of birds and many white cockatoos near the Gorge. The start of the walk is the car park near Lake Baroon and is part of a 10km walk to Kondalilla Falls that also marks the start of the 59km Great Walk. I clocked about 5km as I did the offshoot walks to Obi Obi Creek & Narrows Lookout as well (the latter had a pretty waterfall that I swam under). Baroon Lookout is spectacular and gives you an awe inspiring view of Lake Baroon and Obi Obi Gorge from a towering height. The walk is not difficult but has a few moderate uphill sections and will give you a bit of a workout. I felt like I was in the remote jungle and the smells after the rain were intoxicating. If the first 2-3kms of the Great Walk is as good as this, I’m keen to give this monster of a walk a go!
2. Caloundra Coastal Walk

The Caloundra Headland Memorial Walkway was dedicated as a War Memorial on Remembrance Day 1995. The walkway extends from Kings to Shelly Beaches. Along the walkway there are many sites dedicated to the memory of those that contributed to the defence of Australia. This is a relatively easy walk showcasing the coastline whilst providing places to pause and reflect on those who served our nation.

There is no better way to start the day, than an early morning walk along the coastal walk from Bulcock Beach, Caloundra to Kings Beach. The colourful skies are beautiful and there are plenty of places to stop and take photographs. There are some great Cafes at Kings Beach to stop at and have breakfast before you return to Caloundra This is an easy flat walk and well worth the early morning start
