Fernvale to Lowood - Part of BVRT
Brisbane Valley Rail Trail
For the most part this section of the walk follows beside the Brisbane Valley Highway ie it gets noisy and there really isn't much in the way of shade at all. However, the views are nice looking out towards to the mountains and onto Lowood. Heading in to Lowood you'll meet up with a bend in the Brisbane river with some lovely views downstream, and a large colony of bats making home in the trees. Arriving into Lowood, you'll be rewarded with the first section of actual railway for the trail; Lowood was the original terminus for the BVRT. Lowood has a pub, bakery and nice cafes for refreshments.

Spotted Gum Trail
Daisy Hill Conservation Park
A fairly level four wheel drive track, so is quite an easy going walk, but a few hilly bits. It takes you through Eucalyptus forest.
For best parking, park at the top right "corner" of the Daisy Hill Rd parking loop at P6. There is a small toilet at P7 about 100m south from P6 on the same loop.
The track can also be accessed at its top left side from Underwood Road.
This loop track can be accessed from the Tree Discovery Trail. There is a track that branches links the two.

Tree Discovery Trail
Daisy Hill Conservation Park
A short walk through eucalyptus forest with information boards along the way talking about how the eucalyptus forest works. There are quite a few steps, but the walk isn't too strenuous

Springwood Conservation Park (Gorge Discovery Track, Spur Track, Deloraine Track and Wheelchair Track)
Brisbane City Council Local Walks
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.

Lowood to Coominya Rail Trail
South East Queensland
This walk is part of the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, starts and finishes at the railway station. Coominya is a small town but has all services. A large and impressive rail bridge along the track but not accessible, a lower river crossing. The walk passes through farm lands so plenty of gates to open and shut but not a walk to complete in Summer months. The trail is well marked so maps are not required. Lowood is accessible after a turnoff at Fernvale which is situated on the Brisbane Valley Highway. Public amenities and car parking at both ends of the walk. No permits or costs for the walk.

Stringybark Circuit to Daisy Hill Quarry
Daisy Hill Conservation Park
This is a well-rounded walk through the Daisy Hill Conservation Park bushland out to the Old Quarry. Note, this is a shared trail for walkers, bikes and horses. A pleasant walk with a few easy hills. From the car park at Daisy Hill Road the route follows mostly unsealed/gravel road until you reach the quarry.
