See beautiful waterfalls, rainforests, and cosy villages!
Visit the Gold Coast Hinterland region of the McPherson Range and marvel at the spectacular waterfalls, rainforest walks and cosy country villages. Tamborine Mountain is lovely for a romantic weekend in the mountains, bushwalking or visiting the many arts and crafts shops. Natural Bridge at Springbrook features a waterfall plunging through a gaping hole in the rock. Swimming is allowed in the rock pool below. It is also exciting to visit in the evening with a torch to see the glow worm caves. Lamington National Park and Springbook National Park have long and short walking tracks through the rainforest leading to the many waterfalls.
Visit Hinze Dam for a picnic or fishing, Mudgeeraba for the Gold Coast War Museum and the Saturday markets, wineries here and there in the country regions and local art and craft galleries. Take a drive through the village of Canungra to the rural town of Beaudesert. Other activities for holidaymakers are horse riding and hot air ballooning.
