A short 1km return walk over the mud flat & rocks at Scarborough Point, starting from Tingira Park. At low tide the rocks form a roughly 2m wide path out to a big rocky outcrop in the bay, there's often people fishing or fossicking here. At high tide the entire path and outcrop go underwater.

Denmark Hill Conservation Park is within walking distance of Ipswich Central. The main entry and parking areas are located opposite the corner of Deebing and Clay Streets, just south of the city centre. Walking tracks lead to the water tower and provide 360° views of Ipswich City and on a clear day, all the way to Brisbane. Triassic Park, located within the park boundaries, provides visitors with an opportunity to explore the many fossils that were once found in the area.

10kms easy walking along the old Brisbane Valley Rail Trail. Passing old stations (or where they used to be, signs have been erected) of Muirlea, Pine Mountain and Borallon. Great for birdwatching. I would recommend for a winter walk - dappled shade, but would get very hot very quickly in summer.

This first part of the BVRT (Brisbane Valley Rail Trail) is only 3.8kms of very easy walking along paved pathways between residential and bushland. As the name suggests this is along the old Brisbane Valley Railway, the whole trail is approximately 161kms finishing in Yarraman.

Multiple trails that crisscross the area. Includes the Birdcage Trail, an easy 1900m walk that is one of the many trails through the Bayview Conservation Area. Glimpses of the ever-growing suburbia nearby, the track winds through natural bushland with many native grass trees. Passes the "birdcage" itself, a quirky work of imagination.
As of July, 2025, the area was heavily battered by "Alfred" and next to it commenced a huge housing development. Likely, there will be another trailhead/ access in years to come.

I rode this but you are certainly allowed to walk it. A fun and enjoyable ride from Wulkaraka station to Fernvale. Look forward to a delicious thick shake and a pie at the renowned Fernvale bakery! The track is mostly flat and easy to follow. A couple of road crossings.

This is a nice part of the BVRT, the scenery changes quite a bit along the walk, bush track to farm land to open pasture looking out to the mountains. You'll need to do a quick crossing of the Brisbane Valley Highway, easy, but just keep your wits about you. Along the way you'll pass Wanora and Fairney View stations. Just after Fairney View is a lovely little creek where a bridge once crossed, a nice spot for a break. After this there is the slightest of inclines, but that incline continues all the way to Fernvale. But once there you've got a great excuse for a pie!
