Whites Hill

The 171-hectare reserve contains eucalyptus forests, rainforest sections, walking trails, sports fields, and a playground across rolling hills.

Robert White acquired the land in 1873, building a house with a telescope and camera obscura that became a popular recreational destination.

The indigenous name Boolimba refers to magpie larks, reflecting the area's rich bird population of which 27 percent of Brisbane's species reside.

Visitors access multiple walking paths, barbecue facilities, exercise equipment, sports grounds, and a fenced playground open every day.

Sankeys Scrub within the reserve preserves a rare dry rainforest habitat where white beech and hoop pine trees formerly dominated.
