Description

D'Aguilar National Park is a huge, diverse park of scribbly gums and lush rainforest, sprawling over the hills at Brisbane's back door. Enjoy great lookouts, walking tracks and picnic areas, also a remote secluded campsite for experienced walkers and navigators. At Jolly's lookout (wheelchair accessible), cook a barbecue while taking in the views over Samford Valley and listening to early morning birdsong. At Boombana, take a short rainforest walk among strangler figs and climbing vines.

From the parks information centre join in a fun and informative Connect with Nature activity, or explore displays featuring tawny frogmouths and other wildlife at the South East Queensland Wildlife Centre. Inspect the remains of the antique sawmill in the Gantry day-use area. Fit walkers can hike the Somerset trail to enjoy views of Somerset and Wivenhoe lakes. Campers can stay at Neurum Creek or the more remote Archer campground (four-wheel-drive access only). This huge park teeming with wildlife is a treasure trove close to Brisbane, offering a circuit drive of 90 minutes through a range of natural habitats.
