Bayview Conservation rea is the largest conservation area in the mainland Redland City, almost 1000 hectares in size with around 60km of trails. Due to this diversity, the reserve also provides a home to iconic Redland fauna including Powerful Owls, koalas, goannas, glossy black cockatoos and wallabies.
It provides shared trails for mountain bikes, horses and hikers with some wonderful views at the top of the ridge. Through the trees, you can see the skyscrapers at Surfers Paradise and the white observation tower at Beenleigh. We will be doing mostly the easy trails and only one of the difficult trails.
We will be having morning tea at this ridge spot as there are plenty of logs to sit on. Then we will continue along the Flutter trail. Some of the tracks are Fire Roads whereas the others are narrow trails with slight gradients.
We will be starting from the Day Use Area at German Church Road and the walk will finish at Kidd Street, so a car shuffle will be organised. We will keep to the left of the trails so mountain bike riders can pass by. This will be our last Winter walk so come out and check these trails with me.
