Red Ash picnic area at Brisbane state forest. Fuji X10, panorama mode.
The Brisbane State Forest covers a big area near Brisbane, with main entrance point through the Gap / Waterworks road. The park headquarters / information center has a small but very interesting collection of local animals including platypus and number of snakes such as black red bellied snake.
The dominant vegetation is a dry eucalypt forest. The state forest and D’Aguilar national park host several picnic areas, with a number of tracks. The main road is quite windy and it is popular with bikers and cyclists. There are several nice lookouts along the main road.
Remnants of a few old gold mines are scattered in the forest. The signage state that the amount of mined gold was not huge, but digging in this area was continued for nearly 30 years.
