Then on past Lake Somerset to The Blackall Range. Just near Maleny you can see over the Glasshouse Mountains near to the coast.

McCarthey’s Lookout
Just before Kenilworth there is a nice patch of rainforest with big strangler figs.

Fig Tree Walk
High up in the mountains, there is the town of Mapleton with the nearby Mapleton National Park.

On the northern side of Lake Baroom there is a dam and spillway. This morning the fog was closed in.

Heading up into the hills again, I stopped at the Andrew Drynan Park just before the Border Ranges and New South Wales.
