Nestled in the foothills of the Clarke Range, Mia Mia State Forest is mostly open eucalypt forest and protects a diverse array of wildlife.

This open eucalypt forest is rugged and accessible by four-wheel-drive vehicles only.

Fireclay Road is named after the local clay used to make bricks, before hoop pine plantations were established here. The first plantation of about 12ha was established in 1934 and the last available area was planted in 1991.
