Mount Coot-tha Forest, Forest reserve in Brisbane, Australia

Mount Coot-tha Forest spans over 1600 hectares, featuring eucalypt woodlands, rainforest gullies, and creek systems adjacent to D'Aguilar National Park.

The area transformed from a timber reserve in 1873 to a public park in 1880, later serving as a military installation site during World War II.

The Turrbal Aboriginal people maintained a deep connection to this land before European settlement began in 1824, utilizing its natural resources and pathways.

Visitors can access nine designated picnic areas throughout the reserve, complete with facilities such as barbecues, restrooms, and dedicated parking spaces.

The forest contains 370 wildlife species and 450 native plant varieties, including the specialized Richmond birdwing vine within its diverse ecosystems.

Location: Queensland
