👍👍 Beautiful walk to a lookout and waterfall. The forest feels magical with gnarled trees and hidden mushrooms. Be prepared to hike strenuously back up to the carport, but totally worth the hike down.

Brisbane Koala Bushlands
Hiking area
👍 This is nice bushland, although I wouldn't say there's anything particularly distinct in appearance about here compared to other places. However, if you're very lucky you can see koalas. I managed to spot this little one thanks to the fact it decided to sleep in a tree close to the walking track. On...
