Starting from the end of Palm Grove Avenue, Tamborine Mountain, this walk takes you on a circuit in the lush rainforest of Tamborine National Park via the Palm Grove Circuit track. Embark on a peaceful little journey under the dense rainforest canopy, decorated by big boulders and palms along the track. The scenery alone will make you lose track of time, and the fellow wallabies grazing and chilling around just add to the primitive feel. Slow down and enjoy the tranquil ambiance as you inspect the majestic strangler figs. Get some of our friends who want to get into hiking and charm them in with this magical walk. Bring some apperatives and a nice wine to top it off. Under wet conditions, the track may be muddy and have lots of leeches. Keep an eye out for snakes. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
