Ros Gregor Trail parkrun, Queensland, Australia.
Ros Gregor Trail was the first parkrun I have done named after a person. A local councilor who was instrumental in setting up the walking nature trail. An interesting naming choice by parkrun headquarters, maybe the council were heavily involved in getting it set up as well. I think Nanango parkrun would have been much better choice, at least everyone would know what and where the event is we are talking about. Especially because it is a long way from anywhere, 200km northwest of Brisbane at the intersection of the D'Aguilar and the Burnett Highways. We stayed overnight in a local caravan park cabin. It is possible to free camp right next to the parkrun start line and use the same toilet block, but we prefer a few more creature comforts. The name Nanango has evolved from the Wakka Wakka Aboriginal word "nunangi" meaning meeting place or water hole and they claim to be the 4th oldest town in Queensland. It all started with some farming and then a bit of a gold rush. Before that the Wakka Wakka people used to pass through on their way to nearby Bunna Mountains.

The main street of town, where we had dinner at the Fitzroy hotel.
I really enjoy the small country parkruns not have to worry about all the big crowds in the city.
I think we have now done all the parkruns in the South Burnett Regional Council area.
We got to meet Tim who finished with @consciouscat, He set up a backyard ultra at his property nearby "Dead Cow Gully" and Phil Gore set the world record there for number of 6.72km laps run there on the hour every hour, with the last man standing concept. It can be such a small world we actually knew the timekeeper and tail walker as well, more people combining parkrun and touristing.
Hannibal’s Bucket, is pretty interesting, this old coal dragline bucket is so big you can drive your car in! It is just off the side of the road as you come into town.
Along the Sandy creek and highway was pretty flat but the bush section hid all the 27 metres of elevation gain.

Great to meet another Queenslander on Hive! I have not heard or found any crypto or tech groups in Brisbane yet, but I have not really been looking that hard, I will keep my eyes and hear open. I find following and reading this monthly hive post very helpful. https://peakd.com/hpud/@forykw/powerup-october-2026-the-return-of-the-rebel-alliance with learning all the things that are happening. It also has a handy delegation prize for engaging with it.
it is definitely strange when a parkrun gets named after an individual instead of the town itself, especially when travelers are trying to figure out where it is located on a map
! Indeed do you have any parkrun events near you?
Yes, we do😊 We have the Kräherwald parkrun and Rosensteinpark parkrun. Nearby there's also the Neckarufer parkrun in Esslingen. They take place every Saturday morning at 9 am

The tour looks great, just like everything else that's far from the city. Congratulations.
Yes, it is worth the effort to get there!
I think so... By the way, it would be great if you could support us with your witness vote. We have a Hive node up and running in Venezuela, and we want to continue strengthening the community. Thank you.
