"Visit the Stinson Wreck en route to Point Lookout. Bush bashed south of the Point Lookout clearing a few hundred metres and found pink trail markers and a faint trail leading to Cockscomb Point where we looked for Nirvana Spur unsuccessfully. The pink markers continued south past where we chose to turn around and head back the way we came." — jameshohl • Jan 17, 2023

"Wilsons Peak was straightforward and has been comprehensively described by other trip reports.
The steep part at Mt Clunie from around 820m to 980m elevation was a nightmare of native raspberry vine thickets and various other spikey plants interspersed with gympie gympie and stinging nettle, all on loose volcanic soil that made footing slippery. There was a faint footpad to follow most of the way up but with very low traffic on the Mt Clunie trail, the raspberry thickets were abundant and slowed our pace enormously by grabbed clothing like a kind of sinister velcro that also scratched your skin, making me wish I had some hedging shears with me. 980m elevation marked the edge of where the 2019 bushfire reached and the hike was comparatively straightforward afterwards, a similar kind of rainforest walking along the border fence to Wilsons Peak. Right before the summit, around 1030m elevation, was an enormous thicket of raspberry vines so thick which we had to circumvent them by bush bashing through the jungle to the summit. There was space for a 4-man tent at the top but barely any view through the canopy.
On the way back from Mt Clunie, we went to explore the top of Watson Cr..." — jameshohl • Jan 2, 2023

"The Cream Track was used to ascend to the Springbrook Plateau from Tallebudgera Valley.
Mt Thillinmam access was gained via Bilborough Ct, taking the right fork at the end of the road up a private access road to a few signal antenna towers.
Springbrook Mountain was reached by bush bashing off the Western corner of the access road and was slightly tedious in a couple sections of regrowth but mostly easy going under the well-establish canopy areas, taking roughly 35 minutes. There was an abandoned, unnamed lookout halfway between where we left the access road and Springbrook Mountain, about where "Peak 920 m" is labelled on peakery.com. Still trying to figure out its name, I don't believe it's Reads or Dixie Lookout (someone explored 10 years ago, read about their trip: https://bushwalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=144925&sid=e0acb7b99bb39204a84a5d3ae0048c5e#p144925). Reads Lookout atop Springbrook Mountain was not visible whatsoever, although we didn't go out of our way to look for it.
Mt Mumdjin was reached by following the ridgeline from Springbrook Mountain. One hour was spent bush bashing through vines and thickets of wait-a-while before reaching Repeater Station Rd, where ..." — jameshohl • Dec 2, 2022
