Hinterland 4WD Tour
Monday 14 August 2006

Join our guides on an exciting off-road discovery tour to experience the idyllic natural environment of the Gold Cost Hinterland. Learn about the Hinterland, its unique flora and fauna, its Aboriginal people and the early Settlers. View waterfalls cascading into cool mountain streams and drive through mountainside forests along secluded 4WD tracks.

Take a stroll along Gallery Walk visiting the numerous Craft Shops and Art Galleries where many of the proprietors can be found engaged in the production of items offered for sale.

Our relaxing lunch venue is set amidst 300 acres of tropical rainforest and mountain valley bush land and combines beautifully with an Aussie BBQ - beef steaks, chicken breast fillets, ocean fish or vegetarian meal. King Parrots, Rosellas, Cockatoos, Lorikeets and other exotic native birds often visit the tropical rainforest courtyard.

Return to the Gold Coast by about 4pm, travelling through the historic township of Canungra and the picturesque Coomera Valley. The township of Canungra is over 100 years old and owes its existence to the cedar-getters and saw millers who settled the area in the early 1900's.
