Mt Joyce is the most underrated adventure spot around Brisbane. It’s a wicked spot for stargazing, perfect for group hikes, and it’s free too. The walk to Ngumbi Base Camp is beginner-friendly with limited elevation and very wide tracks. More experienced hikers can make this microadventure more challenging by taking the steep return trip to the Mt Joyce summit. The campsite has full facilities (rainwater tank, bench, and toilet), and with an old school building at the site, you don’t even need to pack a tent. Although Ngumbi Base Camp is just a two hour walk-in from the carpark, you’ll feel worlds away. It’s a tranquil little escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
