Hi DUCK72,

If you havn't got it in your library already, get yourself a copy of..
'TAKE A WALK in South East Queensland' by John & Lyn Daly.
Covers a lot of maintained & off the beaten track walks.

Page 261 & 258 are ones you need for the info to this area.

Take roughly 5hrs to get there, can be done in a long day trip
but way better off as an overnighter to take in the fading sunset &
the misty morning sunrise.
Dehydration is an issue so take plenty of water.
Its not a walk in the park, research the area. Main Range National Park,
Goomburra section.

I can see why that could be your favorite walk! wow, it reminds me of our (Arizona's) Mogollon Rim, dare I say with a better view.
