Highlights
  • Cedar Creek Falls - One of the most delightful walks in the whole Tamborine area is the Cedar Creek Circuit (3.2 km) which explores the creek’s various cascades, rock pools, and plant communities, such as the open and dry rainforest and hoop pines. The falls tumble (gently rather than spectacularly) down into a gully. The 1.5 km (0.93 mi) Rock Scree Walk intersects with the circuit walk, for a potential detour.
  • Tamborine Mountain - Visit the beautiful Mount Tamborine with scenic views of the dividing range, Canungra, and The OReillys plateau.

Let us take you to the scenic Robert Sowter Lookout and enjoy a scenic drive through subtropical rainforest areas which are part of the Tamborine National Park

  • Gallery Walk - Tamborine Mountain attracts many tourists to “Gallery Walk” along Long Road, a street devoted to art galleries, cafes, and souvenir shops.

There is something here for everyone! Even taste some truffle products or sample some alcoholic fudge.

  • Tamborine Rainforest Skywalk - Visit a man-made structure high above the rainforest canopy.

Walking through the rainforest is one with nature on a relaxing bushwalk, you may be able to see the Richmond Birdwing Butterfly or maybe even a cheeky kookaburra.

Enjoy the swaying cantilever bridge and be transported to another world.

The sounds of the rainforest will definitely make your day special.

  • Tamborine Mountain Glow Worm Caves - The Glow Worm Caves at Cedar Creek Estate Vineyard and Winery is a purpose-built cave in which the local Queensland glow-worms Arachnocampa flava have been introduced. The caves are in a naturalistic style, with stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstone features (all man-made again).

Construction of the cave was completed in 2004 and glowworms were introduced in September of that year, ready for the October breeding season, with the caves opening to visitors in March 2005. It’s envisaged that the colony will become self-sufficient. Insects for the glowworms are caught by daily sweep netting of the grounds and through buckets filled with rotten fruit that attract fruit flies. Humidity and moisture are controlled with a high-pressure misting system that is run every two hours, however, no other temperature control is utilized.
