                Brisbane Forest Park

 

Brisbane Forest Park is located on the west of and approx 30 mins from Brisbane.
Its a vast forest range covering Mt. Nebo, Mt Glorious, Mt Samson etc.
We over look Brisbane Forest Park, its our back garden.
There are some beautiful spots to stop for picnics or BBQ's, many of which have picnic tables and BBQ facilities available.
 
As you drive up Mt Nebo Road away from The Gap, you will pass the headquarters for the park.  Its worth a quick stop to take a walk round the centre.  For about $3 an Adult there is a small wildlife park, great for the kids.  The  restaurant   above Walk about creek has fantastic rain forest views and a great menu too.  Stop here also for information on anything to do with the rain forest, local wildlife, camping, fire restrictions and guided bush walks.
 
Further up Mt Nebo Road there is Brisbane's Vineyard.  We stopped here on one of our trips up the mountain and had a great reception.  We were given a tour of the vineyard and the accommodation along with a  great choice of wines, ice cream liquors and (my favorite) alcoholic ginger beers to try.  I'd recommend a stop!
