This forest scene caught my attention on the hike up Mt. Ngungun, one of the glasshouse mountains on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland.
The 2.8 km round-trip hike is well worth including in your plans.

With all the inclement weather we have been experiencing lately, I thought I’d check out the scene near Beechmont in the stunning Gold Coast hinterland.
This is a 3-row, 19-image panorama. Included in this scene is the Numinbah Valley, Ships Stern, Best of All Lookout, and Mt. Warning (Wollumbin) – the remnant plug of the ancient Tweed Shield Volcano.

Conditions didn’t favour images from the lookout on my visit, but I shall return 😀

This post is of the spectacular ‘Natural Bridge’ feature within Springbrook National Park – itself within the fabulous Scenic Rim region of Queensland. It requires a short and gentle scenic hike that is well worth taking.
At the beginning of the trail there is a junction: turn left and walk the circuit in a clockwise direction for the easiest hike (take steps down rather than ascend). Here is the junction point showing the “left” option…
