Some place I have always wanted to visit is J C Slaughter Falls at Mt Cootha. It is not named as some believe according Brisbane urban myths for a gruesome murder. But instead it was named for one of the oldest serving public servant with the Brisbane City Council.

Now my piece of advice is don’t do the summit track inadvertently … OMG my legs is all I am going to say. There is a viewing platform about halfway done the track. I thought it was a viewing platform for the creek but nope these are the falls. Although nothing was running through the falls at the moment – blah!

But overall it is a great 1 hour walk through the bushland in Mt Cootha. It is a pretty walk as well with a lot of river crossings and you can do this from the Lookout with a track starting from there.

However you do need to be able to walk at a reasonable level of fitness the stairs are quite steep in some places and make sure you have some decent water with you.

But overall just enjoy this little treasure – best enjoyed after some decent rain.
