The Wrecks camping area, Gheebulum Kunungai (Moreton Island) National Park National park
Situated next to a sheltered bay on the western side of the island, this camping area is near the Tangalooma Wrecks, a group of 15 scuttled ships from Queensland's only whaling station, which operated from 1952 to 1962. Enjoy the shady surrounds of native trees and shrubs before heading to the beach along one of the walking tracks. Cast a line to catch a tasty whiting, bream, dart or flathead to bring back for a barbecue. If you’re feeling energetic, enjoy some kayaking or paddle boarding, or gear up to dive and snorkel around the shipwrecks with the local dolphins, stingrays and turtles.
D'Aguilar National Park - Southern National park
Blanketing the hills and mountains near Brisbane, D'Aguilar National Park is the perfect place for a day trip or weekend away. Walk through open eucalypt woodlands, scribbly gum forests and lush subtropical rainforests, take a plunge in creeks and waterholes, tackle an exhilarating ride or drive, or camp for the night. Set out on a scenic drive up the mountain range, stopping to enjoy lunches in peaceful picnic areas, nature-filled walks, and stunning lookout points. Protecting over 800 species of plants, the park showcases a striking diversity of landscapes. Fire up a barbecue at Jollys Lookout and enjoy breathtaking views over Samford Valley, or take a magical rainforest walk among strangler figs and climbing vines from Boombana.
