| Activity | About |
| Mount Tamborine |
The green behind the gold, a family drive to this mountain village is a lush, shady breather from the coast. Take your pick of hinterland hikes from the all-abilities-access Cedar Creek Falls track, to the more advanced Witches Falls and Sandy Creek circuits. If you’re looking for more bustle, explore the village where you’ll find quirky antiques, artwork, cafes and boutiques, and plenty of local personalities up for a friendly chat. For an out-of-this-world experience, take the Tamborine Mountain Glow Worm Tour through purpose-built caves that are home to thousands of spectacular glow-worms. Top tip: the kids will love a sweet treat and an iced chocolate from the Polish Place. And for the adults? The Polish Beer menu is hard to resist. |
| Natural Bridge at Springbrook & Glow Worm Caves |
Just a few hours inland from the shoreline, Springbrook National Park is home to one of the most ethereal natural wonders in Queensland. Surprise your mini waterfall-chasers at dusk with Natural Bridge, a small waterfall that plunges into a glow-worm cave. It’s not suitable for prams, but the trail is easy enough that most two- and three-year-olds would be able to manage. |
| O’Reilly’s Tree Top Walk |
Give the kids a bird’s-eye view of the rainforest on the picture-perfect O’Reilly’s Tree Top Walk in Lamington National Park.Suspended 15 metres above the ground in the rainforest canopy, the 180 metres of boardwalk will make them feel like lost-world explorers. The cherry on top? It’s free. |
