Discover north Brisbane’s railway history by cycling the old Ferny Grove Line tracks that once continued onto Dayboro, cutting through Camp Mountain to Samford.
After a derailing disaster closed the trainline, the area was turned into the Samford Valley Rail Trail, which today runs 8.3 kilometres starting from the Ferny Grove Railway Station.
Cycle your way through Samford Forest, part of the ‘Mountains to Mangroves’ bushland corridor protecting wildlife, before coming out to rolling farmland around the base of Camp Mountain. Also, through this section, you will come across a memorial cairn marking the site of the 1946 railway disaster.
