Located in Brisbane’s southern suburbs, Toohey Forest is a large bushland reserve with an extensive network of walking and cycling tracks. The landscape is defined by sandstone outcrops and eucalypt forest, with grass trees and banksias spread throughout the understorey, especially noticeable during wildflower season in late winter and spring. The area supports a wide range of wildlife, including koalas, echidnas, gliders, and over seventy-five bird species. Multiple picnic areas with barbecue facilities are located across the reserve, with links connecting through to Griffith University’s campuses.
