Lamington National Park

RAIN FOREST

With over 50,600 acres of abundant wildlife and flora. Lamington National Park is comprised of two areas, Binna Burra and Green Mountains. A World Heritage Listed Area, this stunning park is a must see for Gold Coast Visitors.

Options include bird watching, spotlighting to look for nocturnal animals, naturalist-guided wildlife and rainforest walks through the surrounding World Heritage-listed Lamington National Park’s 160km of walking tracks.

Tamborine National Park

Tamborine National Park is actually made up from three separate parks, including Witches Falls, great for families and kids, MacDonalds National Park (note spelling: not McDonalds National Park) and Joalah NP.

A 30-minute drive from the Gold Coast, Tamborine Mountain is a rainforest oasis nestled high on the range. It has attracted a community of interesting artists and their work captures the beauty of the area. Their artwork features an interesting blend of colour, texture and shape, and includes ceramics, designer silks, sculpture, painting and leather work.

Take the Gallery Walk located on Long Road, Eagle Heights. There is also a popular community market that is held from morning to afternoon on the second Sunday of each month.

Springbrook National Park

Springbrook National Park has sweeping vistas of the Gold Coast, ancient trees, waterfalls and plenty of walking trails to explore. Take a hike to Natural Bridge – a waterfall with cool waters and a swimming spot below.
