The Gap

Hidden away on the fringes of Brisbane's leafy outer suburbs lies a secluded community known as The Gap. Surrounded by lush bushland but still only a 15-minute drive to Brisbane CBD, locals at The Gap truly enjoy the best of both worlds.

Visitors are drawn to The Gap by the natural beauty and serenity of D'Aguilar National Park. Here there are over 28,500 hectares of unspoiled bushland offering opportunities for bushwalking, mountain bike riding, horse-riding, bird-watching, picnicking or camping at a remote site in the hills.

The rich diversity of birds, animals and plant life in this park is surprising and you can spot them from one of the picturesque walking tracks. Drop into the Walkabout Creek Wildlife Centre to learn more about these birds and the amazing wildlife diversity of south-east Queensland. Here you can get up close and personal with live reptiles, frogs, mammals, fish and birds that call this part of the world home.
