What better way to spend Anzac day than to have a barbeque with your family at Mount Nebo? We did the short Piita Circuit at Boombana then drove 10 minutes further north towards Mt Glorious to do the Morelia Track after sunset.

Ranger Ruth knows the way

It's hard not to love the rainforest on the Morelia Track

View from Jolly's Lookout, towards Samford Valley and Brisbane. Mars is the bright 'star' in the centre

It was dark on the way back from Jolly's Lookout and we encountered a few creatures that wandered into the light of our headtorches.

Some kind of cool spider

Frog!
It was nice to do a short, well-marked trail in the dark... a different and fun way to experience D'Aguilar National Park.
