Walking The Steamers | A Hard First Climb

This walk into The Steamers was Davina's first genuinely hard climb. The terrain was steep and slow, with scrambles, loose rock, and sections that required careful navigation. It took longer than we expected, and we reached Stern Bush Camp after dark, cooked dinner by headlamp, and rested. In the morning, we woke early and walked out to see The Steamers at first light. The Steamers are located in Main Range National Park, Queensland. Access involves multiple creek crossings and an unmarked trailhead. 🔗 More Information The Steamers, Main Range National Park, Queensland https://parks.qld.gov.au/parks/main-r...
