JC Slaughter Falls

Mt Coot-tha

Updated: Oct 05, 2025

This is a beautiful bushy gorge walk with grassy creek banks for picnics and barbecues, an open air bush chapel and a resident flock of sulphur-crested cockatoos.

Summit Track - For the more intrepid hiker, start here for the Summit walk, a steep-at-times 2 km jaunt via scrubby, open eucalypt forest to the top of Mt-Coot-tha - where the reward for effort is Brisbane’s most panoramic hilltop view and a refreshment at the kiosk.

The return trip to and from JC Slaughter takes about 1 to 1.5 hours.
