Less than a 20-minute drive from the city, the J.C Slaughter Falls picnic area is at the heart of the Mt Coot-tha Precinct and a great start point for a number of beautiful nature trails, as well the 1.9 kilometre Summit Track that takes you up to the famous Mt Coot-tha lookout . [BREAK]Take on Toohey ForestSpanning 260 hectares and just 10 kilometres from the CBD, Toohey Forest offers a perfect place for a family winter walk, followed by a packed lunch at a number of the barbecue and picnic areas. There are 30 intertwining walking tracks of varying difficulty spread throughout the forest, with the longest track 3.5 kilometres long and the shortest being just 250 metres. Take the intercampus track and be rewarded with spectacular views of Brisbane and its surrounding suburbs from the Mt Gravatt Outlook after taking the 1.2 kilometre Summit track from Gertrude Petty Place. For a different perspective, follow the ridge southwards on the 1.5 kilometre Toohey Mountain Track starting from Mayne Estate picnic area to Pegg's Lookout.[BREAK]Walk into the wild at WynnumThe 10 kilometre return trip of the Wynnum Manly foreshore offers a breath of sea air and is one of Brisbane's most scenic bayside walking hotspots, showcasing the yachts of Manly marina, a water park and plenty of grassy picnic spots and playgrounds for pit stops along the way.[BREAK]Reach new heightsClimb to new heights at the newly refurbished lookout at Milne Hill Reserve in Chermside West.
