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 :)

Enoggera Creek via Black Soil track


This walk takes just over an hour to do in total. From Mount Nebo Road, take the Black Soil Track found on the BFP map between the Fire Tower and Scrub Road. There is some elevation lost in descent so be prepared to walk steeply uphill on the way back. This walk is very nice to do after prior rains and has great explatory opportunities, being one the longest creeks in the Park. It is a very tranquil place with some water usually present in the creek. I went there last time after a flood and it must have been quite impressive, plants were bent over and there was debris at least a metre or two above creek level, hanging from the trees. By continuing further along this track it is possible to walk up to South Boundary Road and onto Gold Creek Dam from here.
