Come out and explore O’Sheas Crossing, a truly beautiful stretch of the upper Brisbane River at the northern end of Lake Wivenhoe.
Located between Lake Wivenhoe and Lake Somerset, O’Sheas Crossing offers a relaxing picnic spot and the ideal place to launch your kayak or canoe to go on a natural river adventure. Bring a blanket and chill out with a book under a shady tree or just relax and admire the tranquil view of lush green bushland surrounding the reserve.
If you are a keen angler, make sure you bring a fishing rod. There are native and introduced fish species including Australian Bass, Golden Perch or Yellow belly.
