Fit, fast and furious hiking group.

Meet at Mt Maroon Carpark for a 7am start. If Carpooling you need to meet at Earles plaza 5 30am sharp as it's pretty much a 90min drive to Mt Maroon Carpark. You'll drive to Rathdowney Boonah rd and Cotswolds rd is about 15klm from Rathdowney past the Mt Barney turn off. Probably best to go together and im sure some of you have climbed Maroon before. It's Challenging but not hard more of a climb than a hike its about one and a half hours up and quicker coming down fabulous views across to Mt Barney at the top. Maybe morning tea at the Shed cafe afterwards its only a few metres up the road towards Mt Barney and great food after your workout 😀

Meet for a Holiday catch up with friends 6pm for drinks before dinner always a great night excellant food .
