With lush rain forest, rustic cafes, spectacular views, picturesque wineries and wonderful walks, the Hinterland is the Gold Coast's best-kept secret. Three National Parks are the main attraction of the area: Lamington, Mt Barney und Tamborine.
Towering 560 meters high, Mount Tamborine is a green oasis. The park consists of 14 parcels of land, including Witches Falls (which became Queensland's first national park in 1908). The park features basalt columns, cliffs, rocky outcrops, numerous waterfalls and lush rain forest. At Tamborine, visitors can enjoy up to nine walking tracks, some include excellent views and beautiful waterfalls. At Curtis Falls, you may spot a platypus in the early morning or late afternoon, if you're lucky and waiting quietly. |
