Gold Coast Hinterland

The Gold Coast is renowned for its beaches, theme parks and nightlife. Just a stones throw away from all the thrills of the glitter strip is the sub tropical Gold Coast hinterland. The National Parks throughout the Gold Coast hinterlands including Lamington, Tamborine and Springbrook are awe inspiring.

At Lamington National Park there are places to abseil and retreats such as Binna Burra Lodge to crash for the night. Binna Burra has facilities for large groups of campers and being so close to nature is a treat in these parts of the world. Stopping for an Aussie picnic is a-must, whether you’re 4-wheel driving or taking a hinterland walk.

For an adventure-packed Gold Coast hinterland getaway, consider horse riding, abseiling or a 4WD safari. A 4WD trip can help you explore the entire hinterlands. If you are thinking of embarking on a driving or walking tour, various Gold Coast websites have all the information you need, including maps of the Gold Coast hinterlands.

Gold Coast AccommodationThere are also other spectacular places to stay throughout the Gold Coast hinterlands. There is something to suit everyone, from five-star luxury accommodation through to camping sites with scenic views.

Your Gold Coast holiday is not complete without checking out the superb Tamborine Mountains. There are waterfalls, walks, sumptuous places to eat and horse-riding opportunities at Tamborine. The thunder eggs are a special attraction for the kids at Tamborine’s Thunderbird Park. Right next door is Cedar Creek Lodge which is a popular place to stay on Tamborine.
