Towering 560 metres high, Mount Tamborine National Park is a green oasis. The park consists of 14 parcels of land, including Witches Falls (which in 1908 became Queensland's first national park). The mountain features basalt columns, cliffs, rocky outcrops, numerous waterfalls and lush rainforest. It is also home to the rare Albert's lyrebird and ??shining burrawang. Nine walking tracks lead to some excellent views, beautiful waterfalls, forests of large red cedars and groves of tall piccabeen palms. At Curtis Falls, sit quietly in the early morning or late afternoon for a chance to spot a platypus. Enjoy a picnic at The Knoll or Witches Falls.

How to get There
Tamborine National Park is about 80 kilometres south of Brisbane and about 36 kilometres north-west of the Gold Coast. From the Pacific Highway, turn off at Beenleigh or take the Oxenford-Tamborine Road or the Nerang-Tamborine Road. There are four sealed roads that lead to the plateau. The steep, narrow roads from Nerang and Canungra are unsuitable for buses, trailers, caravans and trucks.
