Starting from the car park off Mount Nebo Road, Lake Manchester, this walk takes you to Mount Nebo Lookout and back via the Morelia Walking Track. Listen to the sounds of whipbirds and bellbirds as you make your way through the lush rainforest of D'Aguilar. After the tranquil hike up to the lookout, enjoy the hypnotic views over Samford Valley and Brisbane in the distance, including the scenic Moreton Bay. You may run into some kangaroos and bush turkeys whilst admiring the soaring gum trees and cabbage-palm trees. The car park can fill up quite quickly, so come early. Keep in mind that the track can be a little slippery and muddy at times. Remember to take plenty of water to avoid dehydration. 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.
