Ravensbourne National Park

In Ravensbourne National Park discover towering trees, palm groves, trickling streams and amazing birdlife in the best remaining example of the rainforest that once covered this part of the Great Dividing Range.

Stop for a picnic in one of the day-use areas before heading off to explore the network of tracks that wind through the park. Wander through a diverse and vibrant forest, and listen out for the more 80 bird species found here. Make sure you stop at the Gus Beutel lookout for panoramic views over the Lockyer Valley and Scenic Rim.

For thousands of years, the local Aboriginal people welcomed others passing through their country on the way to bunya nut festivals at the Bunya Mountains. Aboriginal people camped and gathered food in the Ravensbourne area for generations. Evidence of an Aboriginal yam digging site can be seen within the park. Learn about these ancient connections, and the history of the timber-getters, along the Cedar Block circuit.
