Starting from Quinzeh Creek Road, Cedar Creek, this walk takes you to Wickham Peak and back via the Eastern Quinzeh Link and On Edge Trail, exploring the woodland of Wickham Timber Reserve along the way. The peak offers you great northeasterly views, with the city of Brisbane in the distance. You’ll walk along some impressive rock formations and possible blankets of colourful wild flowers which pop up from late winter to spring. Keep an eye out for rare bird species such as the White-throated needletail and listen to the relaxing birdsong throughout the track. You may run into some cute koalas and southern greater gliders as well. Try to time the hike so the sun is setting when you’re at the peak for extra striking views. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
