Gazing upon Simpson Falls, can you hear the whispers of the past? Simpson Falls, a cascade waterfall, graces the Mount Coot-tha Forest in Brisbane. It’s a part of D’Aguilar National Park, a sprawling 30,000-hectare forest that stretches into Brisbane’s suburbs. Simpson Falls tumbles down West Ithaca Creek, a vital part of this natural haven. The area is a paradise for birdwatchers, with sightings of white-throated treecreepers, variegated fairy-wrens, powerful owls, rose robins, and varied sittellas. In 2006, a woman walking her dog near Simpson Falls encountered two dingoes. This led to increased warning signs and traps in the area. The Brisbane City Council occasionally conducts controlled burns around Simpson Falls. This is to manage the undergrowth and prevent larger fires. Remember this natural beauty isn’t just a feast for the eyes. Simpson Falls is a testament to the delicate balance of nature, a reminder of the wild heart that beats within this urban landscape.
