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 :)

Rocky outcrop @ Joyner's Ridge Road


From Mount Glorious, follow Joyner's Ridge road for about 1.5 hours into the Park. You will possibly need a map to locate the rocky outcrop which is clearly shown on the BFP topographic map.

From here you will notice a diversion off to the right from the management road that looks like a beekeeping site. Follow this up the slope to your right until you reach the rocks. It is quite high in elevation and provides sweeping views as far as Wivenhoe and the Toowoomba range, the surrounding ranges of Brisbane Forest Park and the peaks of Northbrook Mountain and Mount Glorious. From here, either walk back the same way or continue along Joyner's Ridge road where you will come to crossroads. From here it is possible to visit both left and right branches of England Creek.
