The drive there is beautiful.| Beautiful Bushwalks
Warrie Circuit is my new all time favourite bushwalk. All the bushwalks in Springbrook National Park are amazing, however Warrie circuit is a level above.

Whatever the reason, Warrie circuit is divine.| Beautiful Bushwalks

After setting a goal in 2020 to complete all the bushwalks on Tamborine Mountain, I finally experienced the serenity of the Palm Grove Section. Despite living in Brisbane for 25 years and visiting Tamborine Mountain dozens of times, I had never been to the Palm Grove Section. Without the fancy drawcard of a waterfall that most of the other Tamborine Mountain bushwalks boast, Palm Grove Circuit had spent decades below my radar. Thankfully, it is now firmly in my field of vision. This is a plac...| Beautiful Bushwalks
