The 1977 Piper Comanche Crash Site at Mt Glorious 

They have since added an information plaque on a tree. I did this hike earlier this month. Love the videos! 😀😀

I travelled the Goat Track at Mt. Glorious over 50 years ago when it was all gravel.

Been to the wreck. The plane took off from near where i live at Lawnton in 1977. There used to be a small airtrip down the road.

Excellent audio of the green catbird. It's one of my favourite sounds in the rainforest. They are actually of the bowerbird family but the males don't build a bower. The Piper Commanche Route markers were installed by QPWS because of the high number of people getting lost in this area. Police were sick & tired of having to walk round & round looking for them. This particular ridgeline that runs up to Mt D'Aguilar is one of the easiest & simplest routes to hike, so I can only assume they got lost following that ridiculous pink tape that use to be all over this route in different directions on trees as well as the ground & is becoming more & more frequent throughout the bush & rainforest. I regularly hike throughout D'Aguilar & try to remove as much pink tape as I can. It's just pvc pollution that's not biodegradable. If people can't hike without using pvc pollution then they should go with someone who knows how to navigate or stick to well graded tracks. The wreck story is quite a sad one isn't it. It's just a pity Paul didn't stay the night with his friend at Harrison's Pocket instead of trying to get back to Archerfield before dark. So those ferals that feel the need to graffiti the wreckage, they should remember that someone died in that plane on a stormy evening all alone, whether instantaneously or hours later no one knows. They should show some respect & stop treating it as some sort of trophy.

I've been up and down the 'goat track' during the previous two decades, in both a car and motorcycle....was a two way route to start with for a long time... always had to be alert when approaching the blind corners for oncoming traffic... nowadays its one way (uphill only)... Shirley Strahan from 'Skyhooks' 70s rock band fame, also crashed into the D'Aguilar range some 20 years ago during a helicopter flight...which he was piloting Unfortunately, he was killed on impact...it was determined that a pressure wave of air coming over the top of the range from the other side during gusty wind conditions.... flipped the helicopter over, losing all flight control and rotor lift...there is a memorial plaque at the crash site apparently... Sorry John, cannot recall the crash location whereabouts for a possible follow up...

That old “Logging Winch” in an old skidder which would have been towed behind a dozer when snogging logs out of the scrub.

Absolutely love D'Aguilar. Nice and close to Brisbane with some beautiful areas for hiking (and some gnarly ones!)

Know this area very well!!

Great video mate, went looking for the crash site 20 years ago and couldn't find it, haha! Heading up next week. Thanks

I once did the goat track at night in a VW Golf, was told it was easy enough, by the time I realised I was in for a ride I was already halfway through. I’ve done the hike to Kobble Creek a number of times, beautiful part of the world there.

There used to be a bower from a Bowerbird on that track. The catbird is a variety of Bowerbird. The plane is actually upside down on its roof. Look forward to the bush bashing video 😄

Can't wait for the video of the rest of the trip!

Great Vid Mate, I love the sounds of Whip birds. Great POC Shot, You Da Man.

Great to see you back in D'aguilar Jel. Great vid! Looked like a great day for a hike.

Thank you for the video 😊

The baby crying sound is a green catbird.

Maybe That Guy Who Was Walking, Maybe His Wife Kicked Him Out Of The Car For Saying Brisbane Wrong. Did You Find Any Remotes In That Area/ I Always Wondered Where Lost Remotes Ended Up. This Trail Reminds Me Of When I Hiked In Manado Indonesia When We Lived There. Baby Yowie For Sure, They Can Shape Shift into A Animal Or Bird. Weird How There Are No Damaged Looking Trees From When That Plane Crashed.

Hey John what was the item you used to light your jetboil?

Catbird lol. Surprised you haven't heard before!

ive hiked mt d aguilar via a trib of cedar ck from sth east exploring waterfalls!

Have you done the Mount Superbus + The Lincoln Bomber

The Lepidozamia is a genus of Zamia plant.

Yeah! First to like, first to comment! Interesting video! Maybe I've got a RU-vid additction problem!

As a police cadet our training included bush orientation to this plane n 1977

Koala mating is the sound.

Great and informative episode. Do you know why there are so few jokes about the Jonestown mass suicide? The punchlines are too long.

could be a liarbird or bowerbird mimicking a babys cry.

Snigging- not snogging.
