Mt Maroon

11 March 2001

A record 27 people met at Beaudesert to do this walk. Carpooling was necessary as there is only limited parking at the Mt Maroon start off point we dove off to the base of Mt Maroon.

After walking up the steep north-east ridge we had morning tea near a rocky outcrop which gave magnificent views of the surrounds. We contoured round to the right to get to a deep gully which leads to the summit plateau. Some were quicker than others but we all rejoined on the summit plateau. It was then a straightforward walk to the summit proper.

All enjoyed a long lunch and the views of Mt Barney before heading back to the cars and afternoon tea in Beaudesert.

Thanks to all who came and shared the experience. Richard
