About Brisbane Koala Bushlands
Brisbane Koala Bushlands refers to a network of natural areas stretching from Belmont to Burbank, including:
- J. C. Trotter Memorial Park
- Leacroft Road Park
- Longton Court Park
- Alperton Road Park
- Prout Road Park
- Mount Petrie Road Park.
The bushlands protect significant koala habitat. Made up of open eucalypt forests and rainforest pockets, the area is part of Queensland’s Koala Coast network.
Visitors to the koala reserve will find walking and shared horse riding trails, picnic areas and an information display on koala conservation.
Preserving the Brisbane Koala Bushlands is one of the ways we’re protecting the local koala population.
