After reading up on Mt Flinders, which hosts some pretty tough rock climbing in a secret cave, we decided to give it a shot. In some ways we were lucky, Sunday was grey and overcast, but that kept the heat down compared to the sweltering 35 degrees the day before. Unfortunately our view of the Scenic Rim from the summit would be lessened, but we went up it anyway!
Chris took his three year old daughter along for the trip, after reaching the car park he saddled up and we got hiking.
It was a pretty straight forward walk but very step in sections. We finally got to the top, Josephine helping with route finding by spotting all the trail markers and tape.
While the views were nice even under the grey skies, they were marred by the large communications tower constructed on the peak.
We did the 6 kilometer round trip in about 3 and a half hours, including a nice rest at the top. We arrived back to the car just as it was getting dark and set off back to Brisbane.
A fun hike close to Brisbane, a great effort by Chris, and Josephine was great company.
