Queen Mary Falls is a spectacular 40m waterfall located 120km SW of Brisbane. It is one of the lowest effort to reward bushwalks around, rivalling Curtis Falls at Tamborine Mountain. The drive there, through stunning countryside, is an event in itself. Pack a picnic and plan to spend the day exploring The Falls Tourist Drive.| Beautiful Bushwalks
Mt Glorious certainly lives up to its name. Around every bend is another breathtaking scene. So many spots to stop and glory in your surroundings.

Pack a picnic and get ready for a truly beautiful experience.| Beautiful Bushwalks

The drive to the cascades sets the scene for the experience, with Currumbin Creek Road following the gently meandering Currumbin Creek for the last few kilometres. 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. Perhaps it is due to the 9 waterfalls the track takes you past, or the hours you spend in rainforest walking next to flowing creeks, or maybe it’s the extended time hearing nothing but nature. Whatever the reason, Warrie circuit is divine.| Beautiful Bushwalks
A lovely addition to your day at Springbrook, Goomoolahra Falls bushwalk and picnic area is an ideal place to refuel between longer bushwalks. Visit here in combination with Twin Falls circuit or Purling Brook Falls to complete your day at Springbrook National Park. | Beautiful Bushwalks
It’s no wonder Natural Bridge is the poster child for advertising Springbrook – it is stunning. From the moment you enter the parking lot, you know you have arrived somewhere special. While you could complete the 1km circuit in 15 minutes, this is a track to slow things down and take an hour – or two.| Beautiful Bushwalks
There is good reason why the Gold Coast City Council uses pictures of Purling Brook Falls along the M1 to advertise Springbrook National Park. Purling Brook Falls is breathtaking.

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

While there isn’t one easy to follow circuit track, having GPS on hand will help keep you on course. Be warned, the temptation to jump into the reservoir at the end may prove too much, so take swimmers.| Beautiful Bushwalks

Springbrook National Park is the perfect place to visit when the Queensland heat begins to mess with your mind. Significantly cooler than Brisbane (1.5 hours away) or the Gold Coast (1 hour away), Springbrook is a most welcome reprieve. My husband and I honeymooned in Springbrook one February and it ...| Beautiful Bushwalks
I love it when local councils invest well in free nature experiences that are suitable for families. The bushwalk from J.C.Slaughter Falls to the summit of Mt Coot-tha is one such experience.

Make that all South East Qld families; and everyone holidaying around Brisbane.| Beautiful Bushwalks

The Curtis Falls bushwalk track is an ideal beginners bushwalk, suitable even for very young families.

And it’s beautiful! Stunning! Glorious!| Beautiful Bushwalks
Minnippi Parklands is a welcome spot for a relaxing stroll. While not technically a bushwalk, the Parklands are a welcome nature escape for the surrounding suburbs of Tingalpa and Carindale.

A viewing platform overhanging the lake is an ideal vantage point to watch the various duck and bird species.| Beautiful Bushwalks
Hidden away in the middle of suburbia, just to the south of Brisbane, is Springwood Conservation Park. Previously an old quarry, this area was transformed into a nature reserve thanks to the local council and passionate community members. It’s vision was to create “a place from which you leave restored, more aware, more responsible and better able to cope with life.” Vision success!| Beautiful Bushwalks
One of my all time favourite bushwalks. Beautiful rainforest, flowing creek, inspiring views and crisp mountain air, with a challenging rock scramble at the end – all on a well maintained path. The super elite may be able to complete the hike in 2 hours, but anyone with a moderate level of fitness will have success in around 5 hours. Take plenty of water, a thirst for adventure and get ready for a day you won’t soon forget!| Beautiful Bushwalks
