Highlights

Sunsets and stargazing 

Just an hour’s drive from Brisbane, Lake Moogerah manages to maintain low levels of light pollution, delivering dark skies that are ideal for an unforgettable stargazing trip. To top it off, Lake Moogerah and the Bald Rock Summit both offering cotton-candy like sunrises and sunsets.

Chasing waterfalls

Experience the thunder of Falls Drive, as the winding scenic roads of Spring Creek Road take campers on the ultimate waterfall experience. Along the route, campers will witness the beauty of Browns Falls, Daggs Falls and Queen Marry Falls – with both Daggs Falls and Queen Marry Falls plummeting nearly 40 metres.

Views for days

Campers will witness Mother Nature’s greatest hits, with the journey to Bald Rock National Park offering panoramic views from the top of the summit. Next up, enjoy the awe-inspiring Falls Drive, stopping at Carr’s Lookout for that feed-worthy shot of Mt Superbus, the Scenic Rim and Tamborine Mountain. If campers are longing for more, detour to Mt Cordeux en-route home, for spectacular views of the Scenic Rim and Lake Moogerah.

Bald Rock National Park

Located on the New South Whales side of the border, Bald Rock National Park is bursting with green regrowth following the 2020 bushfires. Once there, campers can enjoy the picnic areas, climb the Bald Rock itself or follow the Border Link trail to the base.
