Bellbird Trail, Kokoda Trail up to top of hill and then back down Jacksonia Track- steep climb up to top of Mt C
These beautiful lush hectares of meadowland in the centre of Brisbane’s east have at their heart one of the rare surviving lagoons from pre-settlement days when low lying areas around the city fringes featured hundreds of them.
This walk begins off downhill, soon there are some views of the reservoir then the track begins to wind its way along the edge of the reservoir keep an eye out for different water birds.
I would advise taking you camera equipment as well as a pair of binoculars for some good bird watching. After approx 1.7km you come to a Y junction go straight ahead and some more views of the Enoggera weir come into sight. There seems to be alot of bellbirds and a few whipbirds around here.
From here the track winds into some bush some small reminent of rainforest. And from here it gets a bit "are we there, yet" but keep on going up and over the ridge and back down again and you rejoin back at the Y junction.
Now the return route can be a little problem if you leave it late to do this walk because on your return from the Y junction. You will meet alot of people along the way.
Some signs have been errected "brown snakes" in the area. So watch your step when walking around the exposed hot ridge areas.
Also this track can be combined with the Corymbia Circuit to add a bit of distance for you walk.
Walk along the river, plenty of picnic spots, water bubblers (including for dogs) and Brisbane’s largest riverside park at the end.
A short but rewarding walk to a piece of Brisbane's history. Built in 1928, along with an open viaduct, this tunnel moved water from Gold Creek Reservoir to Enoggera Reservoir. See https://historyoutthere.com/2018/09/23/the-secret-tunnel-to-australias-past/ for history.
loop walk within the Samford Conservation Park; undulating trail on maintenance road.
IGB East break/ Geiger break/ IGB break
The loop can be extended by inclusion of further trails.
A flat walk through the lesser-known wetlands.
Wheelchair access is possible but not an easy walk
Within the Brisbane City area there are a number of nature reserves that provide opportunities for the hiker who doesn't want to drive for hours to get out of the city. One of the most interesting is the Gold Creek Reservoir located next to the suburb of Upper Brookfield.
This walk is unfortunately inaccessible as it traverses the Belmont shooting complex.
There are a number of trails in the Mookin-bah Reserve. All relatively short but can be combined to walk a little over 5km. This walk started at the Greencamp Road entrance and took the Lorikeets then h9neyeater tracks before merging onto the Fairy wren track and walking to Chelsea Road.
The track is signposted and straightforward with the only tricky part at the start of the walk. The walk starts in just a mown grassy track which quickly reaches an a junction that has no signs. Go left and you will quickly be on the bitumen path.
The return journey is approximately 4.3 km
