A picnic ground off a minor road is usually ideal for me. I have been going to a site called Cunninghams's Lookout near Warril View outside of Brisbane for a while. When I was there last week though, the gate was locked. Most dissapointing.

So I drove three hours to Girraween National Park. This has some altitude too. Well worth the trip and felt very secure.

Have fun,

Someone to go with (especially it they are big and look mean!)

Cunninghams Lookout has been closed at night due to some particularly unpleasant goings-on with local thugs. However, the AAQ have/are formalising arrangements for access, which will include locking the gate after us so that no-one else get in to cause trouble! Keep an eye on the AAQ website www.aaq.org.au in the new year for details and feel free to tag along with us
