IBG, IBG East & Geigers

Starting from the car park off Samford Road, Ferny Hills, the IBG, IBG East, and Geigers circuit is a wonderful trail that winds through Samford Conservation Park. This is an excellent track for those new to bushwalking, you'll be walking through tranquil eucalypt woodlands, and the steep parts will give you a good workout. The rare narrow-leafed red ironbark can be found in this park as well. You can take your dog on the track (on lead). There's a chance to see wallabies, powerful owls, and koalas. Picnic tables with BBQs, a cafe, toilets, and ample parking space are present. Keep an eye (and ear) out for mountain bikers. 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.

• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
