Welcome to Seventeen Mile Rocks

Once mainly farming land and home to Queensland Cement and Lime, the suburb is these days probably best known for Brisbane City Council’s Rocks Riverside Park in Counihan Road.

The award winning park with riverside frontage opened in 2003 and has become one of Brisbane's best loved parks for its range of features and innovative design including ampitheatre, playgrounds, artwork, bushland and both walking and cycling tracks.

Seventeen Mile Rocks is also handy to the very popular DFO (Direct Factory Outlet) store at Jindalee and the shopping centre at Mt Ommaney.
