This is definitely the best national park that we have visited in Australia. It is so peaceful and you have to see the birds that fly in the park as they are multicolored parrots which you can feed.

A great whistle stop for a quick walk around, visit the very extensive Tourist Information Centre where we discovered the area not only... More

This is a great area where you can see lots of wildlife (wallabies, koalas, birds), and the beautiful rainforest! We took a tour out of Brisbane and it was a great day trip!
