Toohey Forest Fauna Project
During Term 3, you need to keep observations of the fauna you spot when walking around Toohey Forest. It doesn't matter what day in the week, or what time of the day - keep records in our Toohey Forest Fauna Project. If you have a camera - even better. Take a photo a put it up in your findings.
To help you, hopefully you will spot one or all of the following:
- tawny frogmouths
- sugar and squirrel gliders
- ringtail and brushtail possums
- rainbow lorikeets
- goannas
Maybe you will find something else.

Toohey Forest is a large forest of about 260 hectares. It is a refuge for about 400 plants and animals.
Toohey Forest is a great place for families to enjoy bushwalking and picnic with several kilometres of tracks and picnic areas.
Mt Gravatt Lookout provides a spectacular 360-degree view of Brisbane and surrounding suburbs.
Toohey Forest is open eucalypt and vine forest and closed scrub along the creeks and gullies. Rainforest species are also found in pockets along Mimosa Creek.
The vegetation is typical of the forests that once covered Brisbane. The forest hills and slopes are an important habitat for many native plants and animals that were once common across South East Queensland.
