Leitchs Crossing

Hidden gem! We often bring our daughter down to see and touch the friendly horses. The river runs through as well and is really tranquil

Peaceful spot to sit by the creek and watch the water.

Leitchs Crossing has changed considerably since my earliest visits (1970s) when we drove across it utilising the short-cut through the South Pine River from Albany Creek to Strathpine. Instead of a gravel road we are now treated to a concrete walking / cycle path and a low bridge across the river. The crossing is essentially an animal paddock, but there is a little grassy area you might picnic on and lots of gravel that shifts around at the whim of periodic floodwaters. There is a playground and dog off-leash area high on the southern bank, but no facilities whatsoever down at the crossing: it is after all a floodplain.

Nice place to stop on a walk.

A good place to swim and fish. There are some horses as well. It is just a field and a creek passing through the field. So please do not expect any public toilets there. Lot of fishes are there in the creek.
