Infinity Pool & Zoe Falls, Hinchinbrook Island, Queensland, Australia.

Day trip into Zoe Bay via boat or, like us, hike the Thorsborne Trail & spend a day swimming at Zoe Falls & the Infinity Pool above the falls. This place is truly magic.

How amazing is this view??? No filter, no editing, just amazing colours. Did the Thorsborne Trail this week with an amazing group of women & this is the photo that says it all.

So, what do you do after hiking over 93km across 5 days? Well, after tidying the house because you returned to a pigsty, you go for another bush walk of course. Keeping up the fitness with a 10km through Bunyaville Conservation Reserve.

Cooloola Great Walk, 88km, 4 nights, 5 days, Rainbow Beach to Noosa North Shore. Solo Hike.

This was my first SOLO hike & I have to say I was sooo nervous going into it. While officially it is 88km my Garmin tells me I actually hiked 94.3km. This was such an amazing experience & one I would certainly recommend to anyone wanting to foray into solo hiking. The trail is clearly defined. It would be quite difficult to get lost unless you deliberately stepped off the trail & then completely lost your bearings. Each day was between 15-21km & a reasonable level of fitness is required as you are going up & down hill every day. Most of the trail is under trees with a firm base but there are the two sand blow's to traverse & some sections of sand on the trail on the last 2 days.

The campsites were fantastic. Each had sites with platforms, a lock box to store food to keep it away from scavenging animals & an almost flat section to pitch your tent. They all had composting toilets, most were pretty smelly & none had toilet paper provisions so make sure you BYO.

My favorite site was definitely night 3, Dutgee Walkers Camp. They had several sites in amongst the bush but if you continue south a little further there are a few sites down along the Noosa River. It was so tranquil sitting on the banks of the river listening to the birds & watching the clouds roll by. The next morning the river was shrouded in mist & provided an amazing backdrop for my morning coffee.

The Sandpatch, the larger of the two sand blow's, was about a km downhill through softish sand. If you chose the South to North direction that's quite a difficult uphill climb. It was impossible to see the exit point when walking across but I just followed the footprints & they led the way.

The final day teases you with glimpses of beach before finally bringing you down onto the beach at Cutting 3, the vehicle entrance. You then have approx 1.5km of glorious beach walking before heading back into Bushland, through the Arthur Harold Conservation Reserve to the end of the trail.

While I was hiking solo every day, there were always people at camp to have a chat with if I chose. Some were coming south to

Just love the sunrise on my early morning walks this time of year.
