OXLEY CREEK COMMON

Public BBQ

A surprisingly wild stretch of common in the middle of Brisbane, with cattle grazing at sunset and wide gravel pathways running through enough open space that it never feels crowded. There is one way in and out, and two things worth walking to: the pelican lake and the secret forest. It is excellent for birdwatching, though the joggers keep the birds down through the middle of the day - go early or late and they come out. Covered tables and chairs, a barbecue area, a grassed patch for games, drop toilets including an ambulant one, and free exercise equipment are all on hand, with parking easy enough on a weekday afternoon. Volunteers keep it in good order. Much of it is shaded, but some stretches are fully exposed.
