Come with us on a unique journey off the beaten track and enjoy special access to the world's last remaining subtropical rainforests. Experience nature at its awesome and majestic best in the Conondale National Park; over 7,000 hectacres of subtropical rainforest wilderness within the mountainous Conondale Range. Situated 100km north west of Brisbane, in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, the Park is an hours scenic drive from coastal beach resorts and an area of unparalleled natural beauty; magnificent scenery, towering forests, mountain cascades, waterfalls and spectacular gorges.

Relax for a day in the peace and tranquillity of this unique environment, away from crowds and busy schedules. We'll transport you in luxury 4WD to the oxygen factory of the Sunshine Coast; to places where no one else can take you; to see wonders that no-one else can show you! Millions of plants, of many varieties some pre-dating the age of dinosaurs - form the basis of a living, breathing wilderness; a mosaic of insects, mammals and reptiles.

With a rich diversity of rainforest types and a number of rare plant and animal species, Conondale National Park is an environmentally sensitive area of national significance.

You'll wonder at the size of giant strangler figs and huge staghorns where even casual observation will reveal dainty orchids and all manner of ferns and fungi. See waterfalls, rockpools and ancient vines intertwined throughout the trees.

You truly are in mother nature's garden - a pristine paradise that few know exists and most are never lucky enough to experience.

We depart your accommodation at approximately 7.30am and wind our way over the Blackall Range, through the beautiful Mary Valley to the rugged Conondale Range. Spectacular coastal and mountain scenery unfolds as our adventurer begins; enjoy interesting and informative commentary about the history, legends, characters and points of interest of this fascinating area.

Enjoy delicious homemade damper and "cocky's joy"with morning tea beside a crystal clear stream before we journey deeper into the heart of the rainforest.

Gaze through our huge (and spotlessly clean) windows and observe native animals, birds, and trees of the rainforest. You may even be lucky enough to spot an elusive platypus in its native habitat.

Swim if you like, in crystal clear rock pools beneath cascading waterfalls.

Your knowledgeable and entertaining eco-guide will walk you along dense rainforest lined streams, beneath the thick green canopy, where cool moist air and incredible stillness lingers; silence except for the shrill calls of the birds, the scurrying sounds of small animals and occasional puffs of wind breathing through the canopies.

After lunch we enter an area of such significance it is gated and locked against general vehicle access. This area is so pristine you'll find yourself talking whispers. Here in the 'real' world you'll want to linger as long as you can, as you savour tropical afternoon tea in a part of the world not many others have seen…….
