Toohey Ridge Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Running along the ridgeline in Toohey Forest, this shared-use track extends from Toohey Picnic Area toward the South East Freeway. The route moves through open eucalypt forest, including Planchon’s stringybark and Bailey’s stringybark, both uncommon in Brisbane. The track is generally well-defined, with a connecting side track leading to the main bikeway. Conditions can vary, with sections impacted by rainfall, expect washouts, ruts, and uneven surfaces in places, requiring extra care underfoot.

Toohey Forest

Highlight • Forest

Located in Brisbane’s southern suburbs, Toohey Forest is a large bushland reserve with an extensive network of walking and cycling tracks. The landscape is defined by sandstone outcrops and eucalypt forest, with grass trees and banksias spread throughout the understorey, especially noticeable during wildflower season in late winter and spring. The area supports a wide range of wildlife, including koalas, echidnas, gliders, and over seventy-five bird species. Multiple picnic areas with barbecue facilities are located across the reserve, with links connecting through to Griffith University’s campuses.

Mount Gravatt Lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

This lookout sits on one of the highest points on Brisbane’s south side, with wide views across the city and surrounding suburbs. On clear days, the view extends beyond the urban area toward Moreton Bay and distant ranges. The summit is easily accessible by road or walking tracks, with open viewing areas, picnic spaces, and a café nearby. It’s a popular spot, especially around sunset, when visibility and lighting shift across the skyline.
