Brisbane Forest Park

Brisbane Forest Park, Protected area in Queensland, Australia

Brisbane Forest Park covers about 25,000 hectares of the D'Aguilar Range, from the Taylor Range near Mount Coot-tha north to higher peaks. Its main entrance is in The Gap, and the park holds the headwaters of Enoggera Creek, Gold Creek and the South Pine River, plus Enoggera, Gold Creek and Lake Manchester dams. Rainforest lines the walk to Greene's Falls.

Maiala National Park, the first national park on the D'Aguilar Range, was declared in 1930. In 1973 the Brisbane National & Recreation Park Committee published a feasibility study for a park between Mount Coot-tha and Mount Nebo. The Brisbane City Council objected to recreation in a water supply catchment, so a co-ordinating authority was created and an Act of Parliament in 1977 protected 25,000 hectares. In 2009 the park became the southern section of D'Aguilar National Park.

The park's main entrance at Mount Nebo Road, The Gap, leads to the Walkabout Creek Wildlife Centre, which houses an information and education centre for Australian wildlife, a walk-through aviary, aquariums and enclosures including a nocturnal section with a pair of satin bowerbirds. Displays include a platypus, short-beaked echidnas, tree kangaroos, bare-nosed wombats, a spotted-tail quoll, emus and a saltwater crocodile. Public access to Enoggera Dam is through the centre.

The visitor center at the park entrance provides information about roughly 20 marked walking trails of varying lengths and difficulty levels. Proper footwear and plenty of water are recommended, as the ground can be hilly and uneven.

The Walkabout Creek Wildlife Centre at the Mount Nebo Road entrance houses a platypus, a saltwater crocodile and a pair of satin bowerbirds in its nocturnal section. Public access to Enoggera Dam is through this centre, and boardwalks protect the rainforest on the walk to Greene's Falls.
