Brisbane

Old Gold Mine Track

Walk to an old gold mine

Sir Samuel Griffith Drive
Mt Coot-tha
Brisbane, QLD 4066

Nearest Train: Twenty minute drive from central Brisbane

Phone: +61 7 3236 2020 (Tourist Information)

Further around Sir Samuel Griffith Drive you can explore the old gold mine site and see the remains of the workings. Gold was mined at Mount Coot-tha from 1890 to 1950 with no great results! This is an aesthetically-built, short track (10 minutes in, but 15 minutes out!) so maybe make it a practice for the longer, steeper ones on Mount Coot-tha. Get fit, do the lot! There are two barbecues (wood provided) and shelter. There is also a wheelchair path to the picnic spot at the beginning of the track.
