Brisbane's Best Suburban Bush Walks

Updated: Oct 31, 2024

Brisbane is home to swathes of bushland that you don't have to leave the city to enjoy. Here are 12 beautiful bush walks amongst and right on the doorstep of suburbia:

In summer, this bush and heathland, part of the landscape mosaic of the Mountain to Mangroves nature corridor, makes a wonderfully breezy retreat
This 150 ha bush oasis has paved walking paths and scenic lookout and rest stop at the top
A sprawling 500 ha bush reserve tucked away in Anstead, with a network of pathways and trails open to hikers, dogs on leashes
Walkers have a choice between the 1km Whites Hill circuit or the 2km Sankey’s Mountain circuit, both through open eucalypt forest and both relatively easy grade and suitable for strollers.
An oasis of beautiful bushland, criss-crossed by easy walking paths and awash with grass skirt trees
Walkabout Creek walks consist of two bush tracks that originate at the Walkabout Creek Information Centre and car park
Bunyaville Conservation Park is a true wildlife sanctuary right in the middle of Brisbane suburbia with well maintained tracks
Samford Conservation Park is an open eucalypt forest which is part of the Mountains to Mangroves Corridor
Stockyard Creek Circuit is an easy child and dog friendly bush walk through Brisbane Koala Bushland, suitable for all ages and abilities
The Spotted Gum Trail is a walking track that connects the Brisbane Botanic Gardens to the Mt Coot-Tha Summit
This easy bush circuit of around 2km return embraces both the scenic and secluded banks of Tingalpa Creek with its fishing outposts and marshes as well as paperbark and eucalypt forest.
Toohey Forest is remarkable for the fact that at only 10km from the CBD, here is a 260 ha preserved sample of the forest vegetation that once covered most of Brisbane.
