Overview
Beyond the beaches another paradise awaits, Nature's Paradise - the World Heritage Listed Rainforests of Lamington National Park. The trek into the Hinterland region follows the original pioneer's track to the volcanic plateau of Tamborine Mountain. This area of secluded eucalyptus forests provides a private sanctuary for koalas, wallabies and other varied wildlife.
After morning tea and a chance to check out Gallery Walk on the mountain, the day continues as the 4WD negotiates mountainside tracks. We might encounter a shy koala sleeping the day away in a gum tree or catch a glimpse of a resident wallaby or even come across a goanna basking in the sun!
It's time to stretch the legs when your guides, who are renowned for their local knowledge and expertise, escort you on a leisurely bush walk. Discover lush subtropical rainforests with cascading waterfalls, learn about the forests unique characteristics, how the Aboriginal people gathered food from the forest floor and the animals that call the area home.
Lunch time, getting hungry?. An ideal venue for a delicious BBQ lunch with all the trimmings will be set up. Mouth-watering beefsteaks, chicken, fish or vegetarian option accompanied by crisp salads and fresh fruit.
Entertainment includes a whip cracking demonstration and everyone is encouraged to participate, often with hilarious results. Following lunch, the tour continues to O'Reilly's Plateau, some 3,000 feet above see level, where colourful native birds flock around and can hand fed. The Treetop Boardwalk through the rainforest canopy offers a bird's eye view of this enchanting area.
Leaving O'Reilly's, the 4WD heads down to the Kerry Valley along a bush track. The magnificent view of mountains and valleys to the west providing some great photo opportunities. On the return journey to the Gold Coast, sightings of kangaroos is common as they emerge form their bush retreats to feed on the lush pastures of the Kerry Valley farmlands.

Reviews
"Darren is a wonderful host, funny and well informed with local and natural history. Food was good and plentiful and the bush walks were wonderful especially where there is a boardwalk and treetop canopy walk and beautiful parrots to hand feed. This trip is such a fact and fun-filled day and really good value for money." James, Mar 2008
