Brisbane Forest Park is a huge, diverse park of scribbly gums and lush rainforest, sprawling over the hills at Brisbane’s back door. Enjoy great lookouts, walking tracks and picnic areas, also a remote secluded campsite for experienced walkers and navigators. At Jolly’s Lookout (wheelchair accessible), cook a barbecue while taking in the views over Samford Valley and listening to early morning birdsong. At Boombana, take a short rainforest walk among strangler figs and climbing vines. From the park's information centre join in a fun and informative Go Bush activity, or explore displays featuring tawny frogmouths and other wildlife. On a scenic drive along Northbrook Parkway, take in views of the mighty Wivenhoe Dam. This huge park teeming with wildlife is a treasure trove close to Brisbane, offering a circuit drive of 90 minutes through a range of natural habitats.
