The Ultimate South East Queensland Guide
I've been getting the same DMs for years. "Piet, where should I go this weekend?" "What's that waterfall?" So I finally sat down and answered all of them. After years of exploring SEQ, chasing waterfalls and finding spots most people drive straight past, I put everything into one place. 260+ handpicked locations. Five years of weekend adventures, sorted. What's inside:
260+ destinations across South East Queensland X hikes, X waterfalls, X swimming holes, X campsites Hidden gems most locals don't know exist All locations pinned and ready on your phone New spots added as I keep exploring
Whether you just moved to SEQ or you've lived here your whole life, I guarantee there are spots in here you haven't been to. Everything I know, in one place. Less than the cost of a pub lunch.
