Chermside Hills Reserve
Chermside Hills Reserve has car parking available on Hamilton Road at Milne Hill Reserve near the fauna bridge and is open 24 hours daily with only the car parking being locked off after 6pm.
This area has many walking tracks and it’s advisable to take plenty of drinking water. The views within this area are breathtaking and if you’re walking when there is low light it is also advisable to take a torch.
It’s also always a good idea to bring water, sunscreen, protection from the sun and insect repellent.
All of these areas are home to wallabies, koalas, echidnas, lorikeets, possums, kookaburras, and a myriad of birdlife and reptiles.
