A Walk in Springwood Conservation Park

Springwood is the next suburb to Daisy Hill. It takes about 20 mins to walk there, then we enter the park and walk another 20 mins home. Its a circuit walk. It has been left in its natural state except for the pathways and steps.

We walked up hill to get here so now it is mostly down hill from now on....easy peasy.

Over the little bridge.

There is not a drop of water under the bridge, we haven't had rain for months.

Climb a little rise and wow........

...we can see all over Logan City (adjoins Brisbane City) all the way south to Tamborine Mountains and even further to Lamington Mountains.

Now it is a tumble down hill, its fun and pretty

Look back at the scrubby bushland or dry Eucalyptus forest before....

...crossing over the road and entering......

....suburbia again.

  2. I'm sitting here thinking....No rain and still all that greenery? We haven't had a really good rain since last Christmas and does the desert ever look it. Even the cactus look like they have their tongue hanging out. Beautiful park though.

  6. I love the bush, it brings back so many memories. At the moment I am a bit handicapped with walking to far. Many years ago I had an accident. My left leg was damaged and now I can feel it again in a bad way. I have an MRI on Monday to determine what needs to be done to get my complete mobility back, I hope. In the meantime I enjoy very much your photos of this beautiful bush walk. Thanks Diane.
    The photos are from the desert out of Coober Pedy.
