Just got back from hiking the Thorsborne Trail on Hinchinbrook Island. Anyone with a sense of adventure and a little bit of physical ability should have a crack at it. I did it with the Mrs and kids over 4 days. Bloody hard work but spectacular views and waterfalls.
Best place I have camped yet!!
Good stuff, especially with the mrs & kids. An awesome part of the world over there. Any pics ?
I'm right 98% of the time - who cares about the other 3%
Yeah mate will post a couple shortly
Would love to do this some day. Probably should've done it before the kids came along but too late now! How old are your kids, lump?
My pair are girl 8 and boy 10. I think the young bloke carried about 6 kgs in his pack and the daughter had a small day pack with 2kg in it. They both coped better than me!
ITs on my todo list as well. looking foward to the pics.

Great pics, thanks for sharing. Did you spot any junglies in the fresh?
Yeah mate quite a few. The biggest were at Mulligan Falls ranging from 7-10cm to the 15-20cm mark. I was down there in the morning filling up the water bottles and they were all gathered in front of me checking me out. Your not allowed to fish there so I guess they have nothing to fear. Gin clear water in all the bigger creeks which all seemed to have perch in them. Also watched quite a few freshwater yabbies in Diamantina Creek while having lunch there one day.Originally Posted by Alchemy

IF IT CAN'T EAT A WHOLE PILLY I DON'T WANT IT
The misses and I did it in 1990 fantastic!!! We have thought of doing it again but my back is to stuffed to carry gear.
I think you can do it as a tour and walk while others carry your gear??? I think thats what they did on QLD Weekender?
I think I got this all wrong. Sorry
