Senses Trail: Downfall Creek Bushland Centre

Listen, Smell, See, Touch - sign for the Senses Trail

large image

Listen, Smell, See, Touch is the theme of this special needs inclusive trail located only twelve kilometres north of Brisbane's city centre. Part of Raven Street Reserve, which is part of The Mountains to Mangroves Corridor, Downfall Creek Bushland Centre's Senses Trail is a 250 metre self guided walk with full wheel chair access and clearly numbered (braille and raised) signs (1-12) and a continuous hand rail. 

Downfall Creek Senses Trail

Taking this trail is an educational experience. Huge silver tubes have been set up to help you spot kookaburra nests or possum boxes. 

Inter-active Activity Station

"Widen your nostrils, can you smell the soil or the onset of rain?" encourages one sign, near the interactive activity station. 
"Tic, tac toe - give it a go", and the kids have to match up a row of arthropods or a picture of a Native Giant Woodmoth. You can smell different native bush leaves, such as Lemon Scented Gum or Peppermint. Even the Water Cycle and Carbon Cycle are clearly explained using diagrams.

Ferns along the Senses Trail

Another sign shows different animal footprints and their droppings all cast in bronze so you can have a good feel without getting too smelly. I had no idea what a koala dropping looked like until now.

Downfall Creek Bushland Centre and Playground (with picnic tables and BBQs) is also located next to the Senses Trail and they are both worth visiting. This place is perfect for fostering kids' appreciation of our local environment, but I love that it is so inclusive of many special needs groups.  Downfall Creek Bushland Centre

The farm is open every day of the week and the cafe opens on weekends and during school holidays.

LuLu's diner

Elvis has landed in Brisbane and you can join him for lunch. From the black and white checkered floor to the converted gasoline pump, this quirky roadhouse will definitely take you back in time. The walls are covered in unusual Route 66 paraphernalia and you can choose your own music on the Wurlitzer Jukebox.

Marilyn Monroe watches over diners from one corner and a waitress on roller skates presides over some other tables. This real American style diner serves typical roadhouse fare - milkshakes, coffee, hamburgers, fries, sandwiches, cakes, cookies, etc.

Interesting Route 66 paraphernalia

The best part for us was sitting on super comfy refashioned car seats. These shiny red Chevy seats provided heaps of fun while we ate our burgers and sipped milkshakes. While only very tiny and off the beaten track, Roadhouse 98 Lulu's has been lovingly decorated and has a real authentic Route 66 feel. All in all, a great place to "get your kicks" right here in Brisbane.
