Brisbane's Ferny Grove Rail Trail, a 1.8km bush track which connects the Samford Valley foothills to Ferny Grove, may be short and lack romantic trimmings such as old stations and railway bridges, but of all the country's rail trails, it distinguishes itself with an infamous and tragic history.
Walkway and boardwalk circuit that pass through the mangroves.
This rainforest walk with interpretive signage takes you along Amamoor Creek and up Skyring Creek to the creek crossing whilst pointing out the wild Macadamia trees along the way.
Eildon Hill Reservoir sits at the summit of Eildon Hill, which is a strategic location for viewing the City, Moreton Bay, the Border Ranges, Cunningham's Gap, Taylor and D'Aguilar Range.
Recently a new lookout has been build as a project to improve the great places in the suburb, make them safer and connect them with the communities, family and friends. There are walking trails on the steep hill of the reservoir, which connect Windsor and Wilston suburbs. The Loop walk is upgraded as well.
