Some photo's from my walk last weekend up Spicers Peak. This is about an hour South East from Brisbane on the Great Dividing Range.

I love that walk from Spicers to Teviot. A couple of tricky nav spots but fairly straight forward for the most part. Just keep the drop off to your left. The good thing about this walk is that water is usually readily available. Just drop down and of the gullies and water is not far away. After all the wet weather we have had lately it must be a picture postcard to walk along now. More should do it. It just gets better and better the further along the route you go. Always fantastic views around every corner.

Thanks for posting these to remind me of good times.

Terrific shots! Gotta love those Yaccas (black boys) they can grow almost anywhere. We have a few in SA especially down south of the Flureau Pennisula (Deep Ck). Love that last shot.
