A step away form the bustle of Brisbane are the many attractions of the Brisbane Hinterland. The heavily forested hills of the DAguilar Range create a subtropical haven just twenty minutes west of the city: the main access point is the hamlet of Mount Glorious, in Brisbane forest Park. Travel to the Valley of the Lakes near Esk and even further north-west to the South Burnett, with its diverse crops and heritage villages. Here the landscape, including stands of rare pine rainforest, is preserved in Bunya Mountains National Park. Children will love this area too, as there are, many opportunities for encounters with native animals.
Bunya Mountains: This is a region that is full of waterfalls, king parrots and what remains of the bunya pine. Enjoy a 4 kilometre scenic route, from the Dandabah camp area Pine Gorge lookout.
South Burnett: There is everything here from historic timber towns and wineries. Visit Nanango and Kilkivan for the chance to search for gold. There are also great accommodations from Bed and Breakfasts to a Farmstay property.
Booubyjan Homestead: This is a homestead, located near Goomeri, owned by two Irish brothers, the Clements. This land is open for daily tours, where you can get a close up look inside the home and and of the property.
Brisbane Forest Park: This is a unique location to visit, and offers mountain streams, waterfalls, forests, wildlife and rainforests. There are many walking trails at Mt. Glorious. From there you can travel about 10km further to arrive at Lake Wivenhoe lookout, which offers one of the most stunning views of Lake Wivenhoe.
The Walkabout Creek Wildlife Centre in Brisbane Forest Park features a freshwater creek environment populated with water dragons, frogs, platypuses, pythons and fish. The Australian Woolshed, just past Samford re-creates life on sheep station .Shearing demonstrations, ram shows and cattle-dog demonstrations are staged daily, while native animals roam freely around the property.
