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"
Enjoy the sea breeze while taking a stroll from the Frank Doyle Park (Shorncliffe) along the shoreline of Bramble Bay, across the Ted Smout Memorial Bridge and into Woody Point Pelican Park.
The walk begins in the riparian rainforest and winds its way up into the dry eucalypt expanse of the Brisbane Forest. Note, there a quite a few steep sections (both up and down) which may be covered in loose shale.
Great short to medium length bush walk with not too many many people. There is a very steep section on the southern end of Devils Break which can be covered in shale so appropriate walking shoes are a must here.
Curtisli is a hard trail in some places as indicated on the maps, but worth it to reach Yagara Rocks Lookout.
Illaweena Street trailhead.
A nice 5k walk from Wirrabarra road. I would recommend heading along powerline break first, then up lantana break and coming back down Rocky Mountain High. Lantana break is heading directly up from the gullly to the top of the ridge, quite a challenging walk, but well signposted and takes about two hours all up. I'd recommend heading there after a little bit of rain so that the ground is softer and not at slippery.
Trails added together to make walk longer.
Acacia Rd Trailhead
Mostly flat, very easy walking tracks, well signposted. Lots of local wildlife information along the walk and quiet a nice view out over the old quarry and Brisbane River.
This reserve runs along Oxley Creek. The series of freshwater lakes in Dan Stiller Reserve are the result of sand mining which has now ceased. This memorial park is named after Sergeant Dan Stiller who was killed by a car accident on duty. The southern section of the reserve is well known for its diverse range of bird species in the area. Note after heavy rain some sections may be closed due to flooding.
A good circuit walk. Great view over the bushland. Includes stairs.
