Went for a walk here to look at the location of the old gold mines.
An interesting walk from near Mt Cootha summit down to Fleming Rd, the Environmental centre and back up to the start via Chapel Hill Rd Trail. You will see plenty of water dragons, butterflies and birdlife.
This walk is a great workout training. A lot of people along this track are training for possibly Kokoda and carry large packs. It is very steep, you some times see mountain bikers ride up and down.
The walk begins at the far end of the JC Slaughter Falls Picnic area and follows for about 600m way one. Only about 200m on the walk has a steep rocky incline but it isn't very difficult. The falls are non-existent unless there has been some rain.
This track is 2.5km one way and is graded as moderate by Brisbane City Council and is well maintained but can have lose stones. The track winds through bushland parallel with the road and is easy to traverse. You will see a variety of Australian native plants and birds. A variety of people, at different stages of trail walking ability, use this track including trail runners.
A pleasant walk to a part of Mt Cootha less travelled. It winds down to Bardon reservoir then around Kulgan Cct returning to the start by Bardon Track.
An alternate track to the Summit Trail at Mt Cootha Brisbane that is shared with bikes and horse riders
