Many trails through the bush area for walkers, bikes and horses. There are a few areas with healthy mozzie populations so be prepared!
Combine Casuarina, Maculata, Hakea and Wild May trails to create a circuit from the Illaweena Street picnic area. These wide multi use trails take you through areas of Spotted gum, Scribbly gum, casuarina and paperbark-lined lagoons.
From Stretton Reserve, cross the bridge and head up Casuarina Track. Take the right onto Macaluta track. About a kilometre or so in, right before you hit the join with Hakea track, you'll see a steep track heading to the left. Scramble up there and you've reached the peak of Poets Rock. A good place to think and write poetry.
This walk is shared with the brave bike riders. The first half was winding down to the valleys bottom then winding back up to the top.
An easy 1900m walk that is one of the many trails through the Bayview Conservation Area. Glimpses of the ever-growing suburbia nearby at times but feels like a million miles away. Narrow track winds through natural bushland with many native grass trees, commonly known as 'black boys'. Can loop around and head back along the wider fire trail that joins Birdcage or join another track and walk for much longer. This trail starts at the Kidd Street entrance, Redland Bay.
A short walk leads to the lookout at the top of sandstone cliffs. The lookout offers views over hoop pine plantations and mature rainforest with emergent hoop pines. Beyond the plantations, Glastonbury Creek can be seen winding through grazing country.
Also a good place for some rock climbing and abseiling, if you're into that, or just watch the fun.
One of five signed recreational trails within Glider Forest allowing users to access and experience a range of different landscapes, including open eucalypt woodlands and paperbark groves surrounded by small stream-fed billabongs.
A short walk to a similar lookout to Point Pure, with its sandstone cliffs and views over hoop pine plantations and mature rainforest with emergent hoop pines.
Also a good place for some rock climbing and abseiling, if you're into that, or just watch the fun.
10kms easy walking along the old Brisbane Valley Rail Trail. Passing old stations (or where they used to be, signs have been erected) of Muirlea, Pine Mountain and Borallon. Great for birdwatching. I would recommend for a winter walk - dappled shade, but would get very hot very quickly in summer.
Berrinba Wetlands is a must for nature lovers. Explore these serene and picturesque wetlands along more than eight kilometers of shared walking and bicycle tracks. This track loops around the wetland.
