Wander Wisely

;

Explore the Scenic Rim

With six National Parks, ancient Gondwana rainforests, magnificent waterfalls, spectacular mountain ranges, and serene lakes, the Scenic Rim stands as a testament to nature’s unparalleled beauty. We believe in wandering wisely and treading lightly, and we’d love you to as well!

Make a difference:

  • Stay in eco-friendly accommodation – visit
    visitscenicrim.com.au for more information
  • Consume mindfully. Wandering wisely also means
    supporting local businesses – buying and eating locally
    which is what Eat Local Month is all about!
  • Tread responsibility. It’s a privilege and true adventure
    to experience the incredible ancient rainforests,
    waterfalls, lakes, and mountains of the region, but
    please be the region’s eco-guardian angel at the same
    time – stick to designated tracks and trails to avoid
    damaging vegetation, causing erosion, or disturbing
    wildlife

Driving in the Scenic Rim

Travel tips:

  • Bring your own reusable water bottles, bags, and
    utensils to avoid single-use plastics
  • Recharge your electric vehicle at over a dozen EV
    charging sites across the region. From Tamborine
    Mountain to Beaudesert, Mount Barney to Boonah,
    Plugshare shows where you can charge up in the
    Scenic Rim
  • If you’re flying into Brisbane or the Gold Coast before
    heading into the Scenic Rim, offset your flight’s carbon
    emissions by contributing to environmental projects

More ways to wander wisely:

  • Be mindful of water usage by taking shorter showers
    and reusing towels. Turn off lights, air conditioning,
    and electronics when they’re not in use, and choose
    accommodation that prioritises renewable energy
  • The Scenic Rim offers a range of recycling options –
    look for the special Containers for Change collection
    bins on the main streets of Beaudesert, Canungra,
    Tamborine Mountain and Boonah
  • Choose to walk or bike when exploring, and share
    transport when possible to cut your carbon footprint,
    help ease congestion and save energy and money
