Fernvale to Lowood - Part of BVRT
For the most part this section of the walk follows beside the Brisbane Valley Highway ie it gets noisy and there really isn't much in the way of shade at all. However, the views are nice looking out towards to the mountains and onto Lowood. Heading in to Lowood you'll meet up with a bend in the Brisbane river with some lovely views downstream, and a large colony of bats making home in the trees. Arriving into Lowood, you'll be rewarded with the first section of actual railway for the trail; Lowood was the original terminus for the BVRT. Lowood has a pub, bakery and nice cafes for refreshments.

Wulkaraka to Fernvale - Part of BVRT
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.

Wulkuraka Station to Diamantina Boulevard - Part of BVRT
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.

Coombabah Lakelands Conservation Area
There is no direct track, just a heap of different paths, where you can wonder through the conservation area spotting all sorts of wildlife. Especially kangaroos, that are slowly becoming more used to humans, so you can get some really nice photos of some semi wild kangaroos. Otherwise there are koalas and bird life also to enjoy.

Spotted Gum Trail
A fairly level four wheel drive track, so is quite an easy going walk, but a few hilly bits. It takes you through Eucalyptus forest.
For best parking, park at the top right "corner" of the Daisy Hill Rd parking loop at P6. There is a small toilet at P7 about 100m south from P6 on the same loop.
The track can also be accessed at its top left side from Underwood Road.
This loop track can be accessed from the Tree Discovery Trail. There is a track that branches links the two.

Stringybark Circuit to Daisy Hill Quarry
This is a well-rounded walk through the Daisy Hill Conservation Park bushland out to the Old Quarry. Note, this is a shared trail for walkers, bikes and horses. A pleasant walk with a few easy hills. From the car park at Daisy Hill Road the route follows mostly unsealed/gravel road until you reach the quarry.
