Mt Greville

27th September 2009,

It was a very windy and dusty day as the 2nd dust storm for the week has just hit Brisbane the night before. Nick, Dionne, Marl, Sue, and Rob joined us for a hike up Mt Greville.

Mt Greville is located between Ipswich and Cunningham's Gap near Moogerah Dam just over an hours drive from home.

The ascent was via Palm Gorge which was lovely, cool and sheltered and down via South East Ridge which was more open. The descent was a bit tricky as it was difficult to find the various pink markers which were very faded, but we managed to find the way in the end.

We stopped off at the nearby Aratula Hotel for a quick refresher on the way home.
