Karawatha Forest South - Drewvale, Queensland

There is something so special about this place. I come here and sit near the little pond not far from the entrance. I come here to wind down or if I need a nice run/ walk. Bring your pets if you want. Even though traffic is near its tuned out with the sounds of the forest. I cannot stress enough that this place is so good for you.

The walking tracks are really easy and it is fun going down different paths just to see where they go. My dog enjoys it too.

A great place for a walk/jogging. Heard from the local said that you can see koala or kangaroo here. But I manage to see a kangaroo but they are shy. Ran away when they saw me from far away. But no luck for the koala. Guess you just have to be very very lucky.

The whole park is very big. Guess you can take a day just walk inside. You can even bring your bike over there and have cycling inside.

There is a parking area outside but they will close the gate at 630pm.

Overall it is a good place for a walk/jogging. Fresh air and sometimes you might get lucky by seeing some koala or kangaroo.

One of the best places to go bushwalking , bird watching and for picnics and family outings. The forest is huge with lots of easy to moderate walking tracts and trails. Plenty to see along the way including kangaroos, wallabies, lorikeets and kookaburras . Eucalyptus trees are predominantly growing in this forest with thin to thick undergrowth.

Near the Acacia Ridge entrance is the Karawatha Forest Discovery Centre which was closed when we visited the place. There is a large picnic area with barbeque facilities and plenty of tables and seats. You might see wallabies here too, they seemed to appear with the smell of food. Nearby is the nature play area which is pretty cool. At the lookout, the views are fantastic. Will definitely come back to explore the other walking tracts.

Great views in this beautiful park. Lots to explore, so grab a map from the Discovery Centre as the there are enough tracks to create a very enjoyable 17km walk. Vegetation changes are really worth walking the full length of the park.

We love coming here for walks as a family. There is a good range of tracks for different abilities and some really pretty views along the way.
