Hinterland / National Parks, Gold Coast

The Gold Coast Hinterland! Most visitors to the coast miss the opportunity to visit our beautiful rainforests. You can choose between 2 different areas - Springbrook (take the Mudgeeraba exit) or Mount Tambourine (Oxenford exit). Mount Tambourine has markets on Sundays. Be warned though - both are a very steep drive to the top of the mountains!

The Gold Coast hinterlands/ Lamington National Park is between Brisbane and Gold Coast. Excellent bush walks. Beautiful rainforest. Don't forget to visit the Natural Arch just outside the national park. Vist at sunset, because the glow worms don't come out till then. It's like sky lined with blue stars.

Whether bushwalking or hiking through the Gold Coast Hinterland or just admiring one of the many bird species found in the area, the trip to Springbrook, Binna Burra or Mt.Tamborine won't be a disappointment. Hand feed the colourful Rosellas and King Parrots found in abundance on these mountains or go for a dip in a clear cool mountain stream it's really your choice.
