Welcome to Bushwalking in Brisbane Forest Park


This blog is devoted to the different walks I have completed in Brisbane Forest Park. Here I will share my photos and personal experiences, explaining the many different walks within the Park and some of the interesting features of each walk. Brisbane Forest Park is now known as the region of South D'Aguilar National Park, but for the purpose of this blog and my own connection and history with the Park, I still refer to it as Brisbane Forest Park.

Brisbane Forest Park lies northwest of Brisbane, at most an hour's drive from the CBD. The entire Park encompasses approximately 36,000 hectares of natural land and forest consisting of national park, recreational areas and tourist spots that attract day trippers, motorcyclists and those wishing to experience the magic of a rainforest retreat or just enjoy a getaway in the mountains.

The Park is full of interesting features such as creeks, rocky outcrops, mountains, waterfalls, plants, birds and other wildlife which makes it such a diverse and natural place to visit and enjoy.

The walks I will share in this Blog range from easy to quite challenging, but above all are fun to do. Please feel free to send me any of your comments.

Hope you like these as much as I did.

Happy walking :)

Greenes Falls, Mount Glorious


This is an easy walk through lush rainforest on a flat walking track that features creeks, a waterall and small rock pools.

Start at Miala Picnic Ground. There is the option to walk one way to Greenes Falls, then return a slightly different way. There are some bridges along the track and a viewing platform at the falls. The creek and waterfall flow well after rain, but slow to a trickle most of the time.

There are more explatory opportunities from the Falls for those wishing to explore this area further, including walking downstream from the Falls then upstream to Love Creek, or simply downstream from the falls to Cedar Creek.
