Who knew an impromptu camping trip could lead to such happiness and settled inner energy. We planned to go Thursday but the rain delayed us a day so we left early Friday morning. It still rained intermittently but it was perfect. Girraween is absolutely a beautiful place and has almost everything you could want for a weekend of discovery. Giant Boulders to climb, hiking tracks galore, rock pools, streams, possums, kangaroos, birds, blooming wildflowers, and the energy of magical trees to replenish your mind.

Climbing the Pyramid was worth every step. It’s a unique granite dome of exposed rock. The 360 views do take one’s breath away and with direct eye lines to the surrounding peaks you can map out your next adventure. It’s definitely a spot where you can venture over and over again.

Also, I’ve decided that my most favorite scenic rim drive in the countryside is from Queen Mary Falls, down the hill with views of the Condamine river that just leave you breathless. Cruise along the babbling brooks/river crossings, through the jaw, dropping giant trees, and you even get to wave to the long-horned cattle, splash through a couple more creeks, all while listening to bellbirds, and then finally alas back to reality road.

Thanks, gang for a great 2.5 days of hikes and climbs and absorbing some much needed energy from Mother Nature. Let’s go again soon.
