After two weekends full of work (writing an essay and preparing the final presentation for my language course), we visited the rainforest mountains near Brisbane. The region with the name “Scenic Rim” has a very green and hilly landscape and includes a lot of breathtaking outlooks. We looked up four different locations: the skywalk, the Polish Place, the curtin falls and the botanic garden.

The skywalk in the Tamborine Mountains is a well-prepared path trough the rainforest. The roundway is a combination of small trails on the ground and a stable stale constructive bridge trough the treetops. It was very impressive to walk in an Australian rainforest and discover the different local plants. The flora is quite dissimilar compare with the trees and grasses in a european forest. Especially the large and playful roots and the high-rise and tropical trees are just imposing.

A second attraction in this countryside was the Polish restaurant on the top of the hill with a breath-taking outlook. A second appeal was the high number of parrots, which has been fed in the restaurant. By the way, my food was delicious, but the assortment for Maggi was not that big.

We spend the afternoon in the national park. This green area is quite extensive and includes different places like a small waterfall or an attractive and lovely botanic garden. This botanic garden was more garden than botanic. Even then, you can easily study the diverse plants and insects. (–> the owners also created a fantastic and particular informative path for children which explains the fundamental knowledge about nature and the specific rainforest environment).
