Brisbane's hidden gems #1: Banks St Reserve

 

 

 

 

 

Banks St Reserve in Alderley, in Brisbane's inner north-west.

Mary Cairncross Reserve

 

 

Maleny has quite a few attractions. Quite the place in many ways. I checked out the Mary Cairncross Reserve yesterday, and wasn't disappointed.

 

It's not just a park or patch of rainforest with public access. It's got an excellent little network of easy walks, all well curated with educational signage etc. It's got a very fine little visitor centre too, a treetop walk, a cafe, and last but not least, magnificent views of the Glass House Mountains.
