Illaweena Picnic Area

Calling frogs summon visitors

Karawatha Forest Illaweena Road
Drewvale
Brisbane, QLD 4116

This popular picnic area is known for the extraordinary sound of frog calls that can be heard in the summer months. Situated in a beautiful eucalypt forest, Illaweena Picnic Area is surrounded by lily-filled lagoons, created by an overflow of water from Scrubby Creek. The lagoons do shrink during the dry season, however they remain moist and a diverse range of flora and fauna thrives in the conditions. A variety of water birds frequent the area, particularly in the wetter months, and turtles can be seen as they sneakily pop their heads out of the water for a quick look around.
