Description:
The Main Range is a mountain range and national park, part of the World Heritage Site Gondwana Rainforests of Australia and protects the western part of a semicircle of mountains in South East Queensland known as the Scenic Rim. This includes the largest area of rainforest in South East Queensland. The park includes Mount Superbus (1,375 m), South East Queensland’s highest peak. Main Range can experience rapid changes in temperature and weather. Winters are usually dry and cold with frosty nights, temperatures dropping to an average minimum of 5°C. Summers are warm to very hot, especially on the exposed ridges, reaching to 35°C, with cooler nights that average 10 to 18°C. Watch out for late spring and summer thunderstorms that bring lightning and unseasonably cold weather. Most rain falls between November and March. Located 162km (100 miles / 2 hrs 10 mins) from Village Roadshow Studios. The nearest airport is Brisbane Airport (BNE). The closest POH, Brisbane City, is 125km (77 miles / 1 hr 55 mins) away.
