Lizard Point

Lizard Point

28 May 2005

A brisk Saturday pre dawn found eighteen eager if a little suspicious-looking bushwalkers lurking around the Boonah public toilets in preparation for the short but scenic drive to our walk starting point on the Head Rd.
After a short re-group at the parking area amongst the largest gathering of Subarus this side of the Moorooka Magic Mile we commenced a cool windy walk on the forestry trail leading towards Mt Bell.

As Jennifer had made a considerable effort to pre plan our route to a turn off point near the summit our large group made steady progress through some lush and at times spectacular rain forest.

After a mini break near a large forest of walking stick palms, which gave our map readers and satellite navigation enthusiasts time to check their notes and reassure us that all was well and we where on track, we made our way through the forest to join the established track to Lizard Point.

Our early arrival at Lizard Point allowed us to enjoy a long lunch overlooking some of the best views on the Scenic Rim which was made even more pleasant with the arrival of some sunshine and an open area out from under the canopy to get a some much appreciated warmth.

In the early afternoon we made slow but steady pace via the Steamers Lookout arriving back at the cars well before sundown. This allowed plenty of time for the usual refreshments break back in Boonah. As usual this walk was undertaken with all the good humour for which Queensland Bushwalkers Club has become well known.

Special thanks should go to Jen for her meticulous pre planning and to Michael who soldiered on despite a nasty foot injury later in the day and to all other walkers who again made this walk a success. Steve P
