Hi there! I’m Julie, and I call the stunning Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, my home. To be perfectly honest, exercise has never been my thing. I’ve tried the whole gym routine in the past, but it just never clicked for me. Instead, my heart belongs to the great outdoors.

While I’ve always enjoyed walking, it took me a while to realize just how many amazing coastal tracks and forest trails are right here on my doorstep. After living in this beautiful region for over 28 years, I was surprised to discover that there’s so much more to explore beyond the familiar spots like Hells Gate at Noosa National Park, Mt Cooroora, Glasshouse Lookout, and Kondalilla Falls.

So, I’ve set myself a fun challenge: to explore as many of these trails as possible, one step at a time. This adventure is my way of staying active without the monotony of indoor workouts, and it keeps me motivated to discover new paths rather than sticking to the same old routes. And you know what? I’m loving every minute of it!

I’ve decided to share my journey with you—complete with all the trails, tracks, beaches, and bush walks I’ve experienced so far. If you’re looking for inspiration to get out and explore, or just want to see some beautiful photos from my daily walks, check out the Gallery here. So lace up your runners or walking shoes and come along with me to enjoy the natural beauty of the Sunshine Coast!
