Enjoy Brisbane's fresh rainforest and lookouts at Mount Nebo.

A 20 minute drive along winding Mount Nebo Road brings you from Brisbane's west to Jolly's lookout. This is a well-known picnic place with great views over the bay area.

Enjoy the view, have a snack and rest, then go down the Nebo road leftward to a car parking area. Here you see an entrance into two tracks.

The Thylogale track is ours, and goes off to the right.

It brings you into mix of eucalypt and original rainforest. It is an easy stroll without steep parts. As most is at the southside, it remains pretty cool in summer as well.

Only after a period of heavy rain it can become muddy, so you can better mark your agenda in sunny days. You will see plenty of tall palms high up the canopy, as well as smallies.



And of course the big trees standing on buttress. In the first part you will encounter a few good wide views as well.

The track zigzags around a few hills, then comes more close to the road again. You will cross a wider path, and after about 2 km, you reach Boombana.

This is another spot worth visiting in Mount Nebo . Here you can enjoy more original rainforest on the 1 km Pitta track. With picnic places, parking and toilets, you can also opt to start from here.

If you take the 4 km return walk - do not forget to have a peek at the lookout.
