Moggill Creek is a creek in Brisbane, the largest city in Queensland, Australia. The creek rises on the Taylor Range and runs in a south-easterly direction from the southern edge of Brisbane Forest Park in Kholo and Pullenvale, flowing through Upper Brookfield and joining the Brisbane River at Kenmore.
There are various land uses within the Moggill catchment, including commercial and residential areas, grazing and natural bushland. Moggill Creek is an ephemeral creek: during period of low rain it may not flow. In contrast to other waterways in the Brisbane area, Moggill Creek is considered to be relatively undisturbed.[1]
Gold Creek is a tributary of Moggill Creek and is dammed by a small reservoir called Gold Creek Dam.
Moggill Creek is a platypus hotspot with a number of locations along the creek being good places to spot the shy animal.[2] The creek has the most platypus sightings for any Brisbane waterway, followed by Enoggera Creek.[3]
