Walk to the base and top of a bunch of beautiful waterfalls (free swimming possible at one of them). Experience the natural beauty throughout the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia
with varied walking distances suited to you. A home cooked meal is provided at the top or base of one of the many beautiful waterfalls that we will visit. Search for native wildlife, listen to birds and smell plants throughout the day.

After dark the adventure continues on Mount Tamborine where we will see Glow Worms in the wild at the base of another waterfall.
