Coombabah Reserve & Mangrove Walk

Shelter Rd, Coombabah

Weekends are for exploring! The Coombabah Reserve and Mangrove walk was a great short walk through the bush canopy, then onto the mangroves until you come across a viewing shed for seeing the lake and its inhabitants. Plus if you're lucking, you might see some iconic Australian wildlife along the way.

Binna Burra, Lamington National Park

Binna Burra Rd, Beechmont

A Sunday drive west and up to the elevated backdrop of the Gold Coast known as Binna Burra. This scenic tree change has everything you need for a great day amongst the leaves, birds, and fresh mountain air. Lunch is covered with either a visit to the tea house, a picnic in one of the many green spaces, or a packed lunch while you hike through the national park. All options come with amazing views in all directions. On a clear day like today, we could even see the outline of Brisbane city.

PLACES TO EXPLORE

Places to explore on the Gold Coast and surrounds.

Point Danger Lookout

Tweed Terrace, Coolangatta

Point Danger is on the border of Qld/NSW, where the suburbs of Coolangatta and Tweed Heads meet. It was the perfect afternoon to soak in some winter rays, watch the whales breaching in the distance, and marvel at the huge waves crashing against the cliff face. There are places you can eat, or bring your own food and picnic rug and dine with one of the best views of the Gold Coast.
