When you hear ‘Gold Coast’ most people conjure images of golden sand beaches drenched in sunshine with dutiful lifeguards watching over children with ice cream cones. Well you can put your sunblock down for a moment. The Gold Coast has another equally as beautiful and magnificent side – the hinterland.
Here you’ll fall in love with ancient rainforests that boast hundred-year-old strangler figs peppered with tropical palms. Crystal clear creeks cut the rainforest into sections and stop for breaks with incredible waterfalls and swimming holes. Throughout the forest you’ll meet plenty of endemic wildlife including colourful birds, koalas, lizards, wallabies and more.
While a day trip will certainly have you acquainted with the rainforest, if you want to take your relationship to the next level then a stay at Binna Burra Lodge is in order! As well as more time in the rainforest, you can enjoy the long list of activities, dining, and simply reconnecting with loved ones without any city distractions. Talk to our team at Discover Queensland today for the best discounts on a Gold Coast Hinterland escape!
