The Forgotten Mountain of Greenslopes: Ekibin Quarry Exploration

Exploring Brisbane's Forgotten Mountain: Ekibin Quarry & Stevens Mountain 🏔️🕵️‍♂️ Hidden right behind the Green Slopes Private Hospital lies Stevens Mountain, a site rich with Brisbane’s early industrial and military history. In this offtrack exploration, I venture into the overgrown Ekibin Quarry, a site that once provided the stone for Brisbane's early roads before being used as a silent zone for a WWII military hospital. Join me as I trudge through the thick scrub of Norman Creek, scramble up the 20-meter quarry cliff face, and discover hidden shelters, old concrete foundations, and secret mountain bike trails at the summit. From LiDAR imagery of the hidden terrain to the "Trig Biscuit" challenge, this is a deep dive into a part of Brisbane most people drive past every day without ever seeing. Location: Greenslopes / Tarragindi boundary, Brisbane, QLD. Highlights: Quarry cliff scramble, Norman Creek headwaters, and WWII history.
