Description:
The park contains expanses of eucalypt woodland, sheltered pockets of subtropical rainforest, remote gorges and spectacular views to Moreton Bay and the Glass House Mountains. The popular Walkabout Creek Visitor Centre is located at the edge of the park. There are two formal, vehicle accessible camping areas in the Mount Mee section and eight remote bush camping sites (accessible only by walking) in the southern D'Aguilar section. At higher altitudes the forests become more complex due to the increased rainfall and generally deeper soils. Occasional rainforest vegetation is also present and there is a thick understorey of ferns, vines and shrubs. Moist sub-tropical rainforest grows on the highest parts of the range where the rainfall is two-thirds greater than in the foothills. Located 73km (45 miles / 1hr) from Village Roadshow Studios. The nearest airport is Brisbane Airport (BNE). The closest POH, Brisbane City, is 12km (7.4 miles / 30min) away.
