This walk has the stairs of death on the Gorge Discovery Track. We covered all the tracks, two are circuits and two end on a street, which we back tracked. There is a centre in the park where most tracks cross over. The tracks themselves are beautiful, with great views and man made. The stairs are do-able even for a gumbie like me and the Deloraine and Spur Track also have an good incline. There is a wheelchair track though very long but is beautiful asl well.

This track is in the Boondal wetlands and passes through mangroves fringing the shores of Moreton Bay and the banks of Nudgee Creek. Birdlife abounds in the mangroves and a birdhide overlooks the tidal flats at the creek mouth. The boardwalk allows you to explore the mangroves at anytime. but make sure you carry repellent as the sandies can be murder. The name means "Place of salt water"
