Description

Brisbane Mud Springs Park | Heritage Places

The mud springs are a unique geological feature, being possibly one of only two such formations in Australia. From 1865, the mud springs were part of a farm. In 1970, Brisbane City Council works disturbed the site resulting in an eruption of hot mud and stinking hydrogen sulphide gas. A concrete cap was placed over the mud springs to stop the flow and the site fenced for public safety. In 1979, the site became a park.
