    These bikeway videos are great! I just wish I had more time to explore these places. The only time I have time is at Christmas -NY, when it's often too hot to do much anyway!

    Brings back plenty of pleasant memories. A regular weekend ride for me, except I kept going once I got to the rail crossing, up over the hill then down to the river past Brew Dog, under the bridge and then off home. Always enjoyed completing the ride except when the walkers monopolize the walkway around Minnippi Parklands. A great little diversion was stopping to watch the model aero club. Some spectacular aerobatics to enjoy while along for the ride.

    Apparently there is a coupple of different ways to ride on bikeways between Ipswich and the BVRT at Wulkuraka. One is the Brassal Bikeway. I reckon it would almoust be possible to ride from Brisbane to the BVRT on bikeways via the Centenary Hwy bikeway. Would be cool to find out about this.

    Hey this is my stomping ground - from the start of the vid up until the golf course. And I used to communte the 2nd part too - up over the gateway bridge. There are some great little off track offshoots you can do here. At the dog park @7:35, if you go down the little side road you get to this beach on the creek - you can cross over (couple hundred meters downstream there is a tree you can cross on) and there is quite an extensive pump track in the trees on the other side - worth checking out. The nice spot you find @9:50, there are tracks all over on the other side of the creek, that go all the way up to Wecker road and your coffee spot. Nice to explore on foot, never anyone there. There is a very old wooden bridge that is falling apart to be discovered. And finally the old farming hut you find at Minnippi - hunt around there for a track that goes down to the creek, and follow it all up behind the model aero club.
    Also - those green pipes in the ground- yeah they are for a sewerage system that follows the creek around there. One pipe in particular always stinks, the rest are fine.

    • @jelbuilderfilms

    A couple of years ago I took my daughter to the state u12 tenis comp in Cairns. We flew from Bris and hired bikes to get around. We had a great time exploring the bikeways of Cairns, particuarly the N along the foreshore from the city and chilling at the lagoon. It was fantastic, and a great way to get around, as Cairns is bassically flat.

  • @dheath3697

    I think the Brassal bikeway is partually on an old rail corridor, so that would make it partually a rail trail too.

    One good point about golfers; if they are wacking little balls around on the golf course, they are not clogging up and wearing out the bikeways and walking tracks, and getting in your way!
