We have been to Springbrook and we love it, too. Easter weekend, we visited the Granite Belt, Washpool National Park, Texas, and Queen Mary Falls and had a wonderful time. There is SO much beauty so close to Brisbane, isn't there? More on this in a subsequent blog or blogs. Here's to non-glitz! -- Bob Thanks, Marie. We have been to Springbrook and we love it, too.

My husband and I are both Brisbane born and have never strayed far. While most people seem to love the loud, commercialised glitter feel of the Gold Coast, we are like yourself and Kristi, happy for peace, quiet, bushwalks and nature! The Sunshine Coast is our place of choice and we have annual holidays to Dicky Beach (named after the SS Dicky which ran aground there back in 1912 or some early year). I hope you discover more fantastic places - try Mount Tambourine and Springbrook National Park in the Gold Coast Hinterland - away from the glitz of the Coast, it is beautiful!
