Outdoor Gallery: Talkin’ bushwalking at Toohey Forest, part of ‘Living Observatory’ exhibition and 4ZZZ

Join 4ZZZ’s Talkin’ Bushwalking program host Linda along with curator Michelle Brown for a special bushwalk through Toohey Forest, presented as part of 4ZZZ’s April Atonement festival and in collaboration with Living Observatory.

Explore one of Brisbane’s pockets of inner-city bushland and discover the diverse wildlife that calls Toohey Forest home, including koalas, wallabies and a range of birdlife and other native species. Along the way, the Talkin’ Bushwalking team will share their knowledge of the forest, the wildlife we might encounter and the importance of protecting these natural spaces within the city.

Expect about an hour of easy level hiking, come prepared with sun protection and hydration.

Meeting point: Toohey Forest Park main entrance: 600 Toohey Road, Nathan. Includes car parking, a picnic area and public restrooms.

About the Outdoor Gallery:

This program is part of Council's Outdoor Gallery exhibition Living Observatory. Living Observatory transforms Brisbane City Council’s Outdoor Gallery into a city-wide celebration of nature, discovery and our connection with the environment.

Brisbane’s outdoor lifestyle and subtropical environment are an important part of what makes our city special. We share our neighbourhoods with an incredible variety of wildlife, from birds and insects in our backyards and parks to marine life in the Brisbane River and Moreton Bay.

Curated by Michelle Brown, Living Observatory encourages us to slow down, look more closely and notice the natural world around us. It invites people to think about the plants, animals and ecosystems that are part of everyday life, and how we can better understand and care for them.

Living Observatory runs until 11 April 2027 and is part of World Science Festival Brisbane 2027, presented by Queensland Museum.
