For Noosa mother and trek coach Lisa Marshall that is an achievement she can now tick off.

Ms Marshall recently returned home from the Q10 Challenge, the 10 Great Walks of Queensland, a 10-day expedition covering some of the best walks across the state.

This trek of a lifetime included travelling 4000km in a vehicle from one destination to the next.

Ms Marshall was one of six people selected to be part of the trek team, lead by Brisbane-based trekker Luke Edwards.

The team included the two adventures plus two cameramen and two drivers.

“When Luke asked me to take on this crazy challenge with him, I did not hesitate to say yes,” Ms Marshall said.

“Even though at the time I wondered how we would physically be able to cover the trails and the driving distance, as well as filming for a documentary, with only one day in each location, between Currumbin and Cooktown.

“But it is not every day that one is offered the chance to explore magical National Parks on foot, with a great support crew alongside us, so I just knew I wanted to be part of this adventure.”

Ms Marshall said she was a proud Queenslander having seen what the state had to offer and noted Noosa had some great trails close to home.

“With Noosa as home, we have three of these 10 Great Walks almost on our doorstep, and I loved all of them: The Sunshine Coast Great Walk in the Noosa Hinterland, Fraser Island and The Gold Coast Great Walk.

“All of these gorgeous trails offer opportunities for day walks, not just multi-day trekking.

“The most important outcome from this crazy expedition was for us to highlight to people the beautiful natural places in Queensland that are waiting for us to explore, but that being prepared is a must.”
