📍 Location: Roma Street Parkland & Mt Coot-tha
🌳 Nature’s Pulse Inside the Urban Heart
Brisbane’s green spaces are breathtakingly close — Roma Street Parkland is a sprawling garden with thematic precincts, secret lakes, and a towering waterfall. By contrast, Mt Coot-tha Reserve offers winding trails through eucalypt forest, all just a 15-minute drive from the CBD.
🚶 Tranquil Trails Near Home
I love strolling Roma Street’s ornamental gardens, discovering quiet seating areas, or photographing dragonflies by secluded ponds. It feels like stepping into a verdant dream without leaving the city. On weekends, a short trip to Mt Coot-tha rewards with panoramic views off the summit track and cooler air under rainforest canopy.
🌿 Parks That Feed Everything Else
These natural havens connect me back to the cycles of seasons: watch jacarandas bloom in October, then trace turtles and ducks in springtime ponds. You can even catch outdoor art exhibits or casual yoga classes in Roma Street, showing how greenery and creativity intertwine in Brisbane’s soul.
