Bunyaville Forest Reserve

What's special?

On Brisbane’s north-western outskirts, Bunyaville Forest Reserve is a peaceful retreat and wildlife haven close to the busy metropolitan area.

Spotted gum, grey ironbark, narrow-leaved ironbark, white mahogany, tallowwood, forest red gum, grey gum and brush box grow in the open forests. The forest protects a small community of the broad-leaved spotted gum Corymbia henryi found only in the Brisbane region.
