Mount Petrie
Mount Petrie is a 170-meter hill located southeast of Brisbane, bordered by the suburbs of Mackenzie and Burbank. It serves as a quiet natural area for visitors seeking a walking trail away from the urban center of the city.
Getting There
The site is located outside the central business district. To reach it from the city center, you can use a rental car or ride-share service. The drive typically takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic conditions.
