Brisbane has three environment centres at Boondall Wetlands, Downfall Creek and Karawatha Forest. Each natural area is unique and provides opportunities for visitors to the centres to:

relax and play in a natural setting with family and friends
learn about the local flora and fauna
participate in free or low-cost organised activities, such as canoeing, guided walks, bird watching and crafts
volunteer their time as guides or greeters
encourage outside learning with excursions through Brisbane City Council’s School Learning Program.

At Boondall, the major ‘attraction’ is the boardwalk and bird hide which provides access to the ‘bird flyway’ – birds fly in from distant shores to seek warmer climates and food. More information at https://www.eaaflyway.net/the-flyway/
