Woodford and D'Aguilar National Park 17-18 September 2021
After an early finish from work we headed to Woodford. We camped for the night at the free camp Cruice Park. We have camped tonight with friends who have a new to them camper on their first trip, hence the sneaky one night away.

We were all up nice and early on Saturday morning. I took a few photos around the campsite and then we headed off to parkrun.

This was a great parkrun on a not too technical trail with a very friendly crew happy to have parkrun tourists along.
We then headed off to breakfast with a group of over Sunshine Coast parkrun tourists. We all had a catch up, and enjoyed breakfast sitting by the lake.
We then headed back to the van to pack down and drove south to Mount Mee. We stopped at the Dahmongah Lookout Park which was well worth the stop.
Then on to the North D'Aguilar section of D'Aguilar National Park.

We parked at The Gantry and took on the Somerset Trail.

The walk took us just under three and a half hours including lunch. It was a very enjoyable walk, travelling through a variety of forest types with several types of small wildflowers seen along the way. The view from the lookout was well worth the climb. The track is well utilized without being busy. Definitely recommend!
And then home. Hopefully next time we can be away more than one night, but one night away is better than none.
