JC Slaughter Falls is one of those rare waterfalls situated within the urban sprawl the city of Brisbane. Officially part of the Mt Coot-tha Reserve, its proximity to the city makes the reserve a very popular place for having a picnic or a weekend workout. In fact, we were there on Mother's Day weekend and the entire park seemed crowded. Never mind that the falls was dry when we were there (as I understood that the city had gone through some water restrictions due to drought so apparently the area didn't fully bounce back from the flooding and heavy rains from the recent summer).
