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
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
