FAQ's

I am a beginner and  have not done this type of thing before. Is it for me? If you like the idea of learning to rock hop or improving your skills in this area, then this is the adventure for you.  Suitable for beginners, or the regular hiker, our guides will teach technique and build confidence in a fully supported environment.  As this is a learning session, with no destination in mind, you set your own pace depending on your level of comfort. Can I car pool? We always ask if anyone wants to share a lift.  Once you are booked, let us know if you would like us to put the call out. Or you can place your request in our Members Only Closed Facebook Group. What gear do I need? As we are close to our cars, we do not need a whole lot of gear.  We recommend a small backpack to carry your drinking water, snacks, camera and a windproof jacket. Hiking boots/shoes are recommended, however if you have comfortable walking shoes/joggers that are well worn in, then these will be fine. You may like to keep a towel and change of clothes in the car.   What time does it start? Our Introductory Rock Hopping Adventure starts at Mt Barney Lodge in the Scenic Rim at 8am.  This does mean an early start, however we take advantage of the relative coolness of the morning air.
