Paluma Dam Loop	Aug 31, 2022 @ 9:18pm Aug 31, 2022	Nothing too exciting. Bit damp.Not very scenic. Little challenge, but initial rooty snd rocky uphill was fun and had to work hard. Could have been better sign posted. Long drive for nothing really exciting. Drive there was more fun. Twisty and turny and narrow
