Step within Oxley Creek Common and remove yourself from
the surrounding houses, markets and industry.
Within this site, you will find special pockets, accessible
on foot, to surprise and delight. Like:
Pelican
Island and the wetlands, a birdwatcher's paradise.
Secret
Forest, where near-century old hoop pines stand tall.
Oxley Creek is one of the major tributaries of the Brisbane
River, named after surveyor-explorer John Oxley. It forms
the western boundary to this new parkland.
Paddle along the creek and discover remnant bushland within
an urban area – a mixture of creek vine forest, wetland
and grassland.
