A Fortunate Wrong Turn at Elabana Falls

April 4, 2016 by Andy Leave a Comment

Elabana Falls

The forest grew dark as I stepped over buttress roots, past lichen-covered boulders and leaves that shimmered in the waning light. Logrunners flitted across the path, which now smelt like damp earth and moss. Soon I approached large boulders which formed a bridge across Canungra Creek, where Darragumai Falls tumbled before disappearing into the forest. This place, as I was … [Read more...]

Binna Burra Walks – Escape to Coomera Falls

Binna Burra walks

A couple of weeks back I was enjoying a colossal burger at the Two Pines Cafe in Springbrook, QLD, while talking intermittently to the proprietor, Judy Diamond.

Border Ranges National Park

It always takes me a few minutes to tune in when I enter a forest. During that time, when my mind is whirring with commitments, social media and the dreams of tomorrow, I imagine the trees whispering to each other, “get a load of this silly creature.” Then I slow down and gradually become more present, which is how it was on a sodden, misty trail this week in the Border Ranges … [Read more...]

Mt Warning Accommodation: Ruah Rainforest Retreat

April 30, 2015 by Andy Leave a Comment

Mt Warning accommodation

A steep forested escarpment snaked along the horizon as we headed up the gravel road, past apple-green fields severed by woodland and a dilapidated shack. It was spectacular country and heartening to think that our destination, Ruah Rainforest Retreat, was in such a place. Up, up we went, to the end of the road and it soon became clear why this premier Mt Warning accommodation … [Read more...]
