To satisfy your appetite for nature, venture beyond CLCR to one of the following places of interest:
Currumbin
Wildlife Sanctuary
With hundreds of Australian animals living in natural bushland and rainforest settings, you can get close to native wildlife.
An option is the nightly
Wildlife Adventure tour. Infotainment for the young ones at Wild Island’s interactive science activity zone provides more than just fun and games.
Hinterland 4 Wheel
Drive Tours
These offer a range of options – from
nature walks, animal spotting and bird feeding,
to off-road driving, wine tours and overnight camping. An average day tour encompasses
the world’s largest sub-tropical rainforests at Lamington National Park and the rainforests
of Mount Tamborine National Park, plus the O’Reilly’s Canopy Tree top walk. Last, but not the least, there is bird watching and an opportunity to feed the brightly-coloured wild King Parrots, Crimson Rosella with their crimson plumage
and bright blue cheeks, and the brilliant black
and golden-yellow Regent Bowerbirds.
Paradise
Country Home
Experience an interactive Aussie farm – shear sheep, cuddle koalas, and feed kangaroos – and perhaps even spot a young joey riding in his Mummy ‘roo’s pocket!
Mount
Tamborine
Popularly known as
The Green Behind
The Gold, the flat
topped mountain has
many attractions.
Take in the beautiful
views both inland and
overlooking the coast,
walk through the
rainforest interspersed with
streams and waterfalls, and spy the exotically coloured birds. Go horse riding or visit the wildlife sanctuary. The artistically and craft- oriented community has set up numerous craft and antique shops, art galleries, wineries, tearooms and restaurants in the villages.
O’Reilly’s Tree Top Walk
The Tree Top Walk was the first of its kind in
Australia, and provides you with the
experience of walking through a canopy of
flowering and fruiting trees. You will spot
orchids, ferns and an array of other flora.
Looking up above, you will see brilliantly-hued birds and some animals that inhabit the tree tops. The 180-metres long walkway is made up of nine suspension bridges, with most of them being 15 metres above the ground.
