Ironbark Gully is a popular location in Samford Conservation Park, providing a number of facilities for visitors, and provides a great base for a number of hiking, mountain biking, and horse trails which have just had maintenance and upgrades completed on them.



Ironbark Gully centres around a large picnic area that provides adequate tables and wood-fired BBQs (with firewood supplied) for numerous visitors. The centre of this grassy area is ideal for families to play or kick a ball around, making Ironbark Gully an excellent day trip destination just 20 minutes from Brisbane. There are also two large picnic shelters that are ideal for larger gatherings or parties.



A short, 700m walking circuit, the Crebra Track begins and ends at Ironbark Gully - in fact, there are three separate entrances to the Crebra Track set around it.



This circuit passes through beautiful red ironbark forest, and crosses a few small wooden bridges that our children like to believe house trolls.



Although the Crebra Track is for walkers only, a number of other trails leave from, or pass through, Ironbark Gully. In fact, Ironbark Gully sits along the Mountains to Mangroves Corridor that runs from Mount Glorious to Moreton Bay.



The trails are all very well signposted, making it easy for visitors to know which they can mountain bike or horse ride along. There is even a water trough for horses and dogs in the top car park!



Although dogs are allowed on these trails, they must be kept on the leash at all times for the sake of the resident wildlife that includes wallabies, koalas, and spectacular "powerful owls".



Facilities at Ironbark Gully include:

  • Picnic shelters, picnic tables, and wood-fire BBQs
  • Public toilets
  • Two car parks
  • Drinking water
  • A water trough for horses and dogs
