I think Purling brook circuit is one of the easiest and most scenic walking track among the walks around Brisbane. It only takes about 2 hours but you can enjoy fantastic mountain views and see a magnificient waterfall. You can even walk behind the waterfall! As it was dry season, the waterfall didn't have much water. On the other hand, you can see clear and nicer mountain views in winter.

Both lookouts, Best of All lookout and Canyon lookout, also have wonderful views. You need to walk about 10min to get to Best of All lookout, but for Canyon lookout, you don't even have to walk. Just pop out of the car, and the amazing scenery is there!


Purling brook circuitはブリスベン近郊のウォーキングトラックの中では、最も簡単で景色が良いのではと思います。だいたい2時間で歩き終えることができ、山の景色や滝を存分に楽しめます。滝の裏側を歩くこともできます!写真で見て分かる通り、雨季のため水があんまりありません。でもその代り、冬の方が空気が澄んでいるので景色は断然いい。

Best of All lookoutCanyon lookoutへも行きましたが、どちらの景色も素晴らしいです。
Best of Allの方は10分程度歩きますが、Canyonの方は車から出たらこの景色!
