From the track, you will be led to the Eugenia Trail which leads to the falls.<\/p>\n<p>Walk a bit further and you will get to the Eugenia Circuit which is thick with eucalypt woodland and vine forest just across the falls. The beauty of nature doesn\u2019t stop here. Take a few more steps and this will lead you to the Simpson Falls viewing deck. A wonderful view awaits on top of a natural haven that sets contrast to the concrete jungle that you will see here.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re looking for a way to just disconnect or do some walking as part of your exercise, the Simpsons Falls track is definitely something that is worth a go.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Bushwalking Guidelines<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/westbrisbanenews.com.au\/fgneb2\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Brisbane City Council<\/span><\/a> continues to maintain and preserve 9,500 hectares of bushland and wetland reserves for the animals, plants, and for the entire community to enjoy.
