Welcome… Meet the Friends of Brisbane Ranges and learn about what we do.

Friends of Brisbane Ranges aims to learn about the environment, ecology, flora, fauna, and history of the Brisbane Ranges National Park and Steiglitz Historic Park.

Group members meet regularly to learn more about the diverse ecology of the Park through citizen science activities and hands-on conservation work. And for members, this is an enjoyable and involving way to appreciate the natural beauty of the park while protecting the Park’s environmental values.

In 2022, the Friends of Brisbane Ranges will celebrate its 40 year anniversary. We look forward to providing news and events on this new website to recognise this important milestone.

You will see the material for this website changing as it is being uploaded and posted, so if you can't find specific Friends of Brisbane Ranges subjects or stories, please let us know.

We hope you enjoy this newly launched website and learn a bit more about the unique assemblage of animals, fungi and plants calling the Brisbane Ranges home. To get involved, keep up with social media, join in an activity and become a member too.

We hope to see you soon.

We acknowledge that we are working on the land of the Wathaurong/Wada Wurrung people, and pay our respects to their elders past, present and future. We also pay our respects to all Aboriginal people currently living on this Country.

We had a simple activity today. Walked upstream and down from the Grahams Creek Picnic Area, scouting out potential spots for doing Waterwatch testing and water bug surveys in the future. The creek is very low at the moment, but still some good size pools remain. One even had a surprising resident. ... See MoreSee Less

Now I'm extra sad I couldn't make it today! Hopefully Life is more cooperative next month.

Fabulous photos and great expedition. Like Carolyn, sorry I wasn’t quite up to it today. Sounds like a fun day and much learning.

Can you tell me if that's a snake or am eel, I had an encounter with something slithering I'm the water, a few years ago, and to this day am still wondering. Was splashing a bit on the surface of the water and something came up to check it out I had my boots in the water. Assumed it was an eel but later it occurred to me, maybe it wasn't? And did wonder if it could have been a snake, the picture looks quite snake like...
