Steiglitz Historical Park

Steiglitz is almost a ghost town today, but in the 1860's and 1890's it was a busy goldmining township with hotels, shops, churches and a population of over 1000. At the height of the 1860's gold rush, Steiglitz township had more than 1500 residents, four hotels, a newspaper, a variety of shops and even an undertaker. Now most of the town and its surroundings are included in the 469 hectare Steiglitz Historic Park, declared in 1979. Flora & Fauna

Koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, possums and a wide variety of birds including Wedge-tailed Eagles and Crimson Rosellas can be seen around the Park.

Plant species found around Steiglitz Historic Park include Brown Stringybarks, Grass-trees, Brisbane Ranges Grevillea and Common Rice-flower.
