Boondall Wetlands, Ramsar wetland reserve in Boondall, Brisbane, Australia

Boondall Wetlands is a protected reserve spanning about 1100 hectares along Moreton Bay, where tidal flats, mangrove forests, salt marshes, melaleuca swamps, casuarina woodlands, and open forests meet. The Environment Centre provides walking tracks, cycling paths, bird watching platforms, and a native plant nursery for visitors to explore.

The land served the Catholic Church for timber operations from 1863 until it became a protected reserve in 1990 following community opposition to development proposals. This shift from private use to conservation reflects growing environmental awareness among residents.

In 1996 Ron Hurley and six local Aboriginal artists made a series of contemporary totems for the Nurri Millen trail. Eighteen aluminium-cast totems stand near animal habitats and other places of importance to Aboriginal people, each marking an aspect of their culture.

Access is through the Environment Centre on Paperbark Drive, where visitors can get information and guidance. Walking and cycling are best in cooler months, and early morning or late afternoon visits offer the best conditions for bird watching.

The Nurri Millen Totem Trail, created in 1996 by Ron Hurley with six local Aboriginal artists, consists of 18 aluminium-cast totems placed near animal habitats and sites of Aboriginal importance. The 100-metre Tulla-yugaipa dhagun nature walk is led by guides from the Environment Centre.
