Natural Bridge at Springbrook National Park

Natural Bridge at Springbrook National Park

Living in South East Queensland, most people aren’t aware of the many great attractions available in their own backyard! Both Brisbane and the Gold & Sunshine Coasts have so much to offer, and lots of great things to see and do for free. Below is a list of places to see, as recommended by the staff here at Andy’s Auto Rentals. All of the places below are completely free to visit, which is definately a plus!

South Bank Parklands

Arguably Brisbane’s most popular destination for families is South Bank. Hugging the Brisbane River just across from the CBD, visitors can enjoy a sandy beach, a dip in a man-made lagoon, plenty of picnic spots, eateries, shops, cinemas and free live entertainment on most weekends.

Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mt Coot-tha

The Brisbane Botanic Gardens at Mt Coot-tha feature an oasis of some of the best native and exotic plant species in southeast Queensland, including a tropical greenhouse dome, Japanese gardens, 52 hectares of themed gardens, a lagoon and a window to the sky at the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium.

Daisy Hill Koala Centre

Want to see a koala up close? This koala education facility, just south of Brisbane, was built by the State Government and includes an outdoor koala enclosure and interactive displays. It is part of the Daisy Hill Conservation Park, comprising 435 hectares of open eucalypt forest and is a popular bushland retreat.

Brisbane Forest Park

Take a walk through the bush on Brisbane’s doorstep. Brisbane Forest Park is located at The Gap and is part of D’Aguilar National Park, which has 14 separate recreation areas, over 30km of walking tracks and 60km of tourist roads.

Boondall Wetlands

The Boondall Wetlands Reserve at Boondall offers an insight to the flora and fauna of Moreton Bay. At the wetlands’ environment Centre you can learn about the importance of preserving natural areas. You can also enjoy a picnic, traverse walking tracks, go for a bike ride or bring a canoe to explore the wetlands from the water.   

Natural Bridge, Springbrook National Park

Natural Bridge, Springbrook National Park is a most unusual geological feature created over millions of years by water tumbling through the roof of a basalt cave. Natural Bridge is home to an amazing colony of glow-worms, whose lights can be seen only after sunset. Lookouts and lush rainforest also grace this part of the Gondwna Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, making it one of the most popular parks in Australia. Take the short circuit walk to the natural arch over Cave Creek, and view the unique waterfall and cave. Enjoy a picnic and relax in cool rainforest. Join a nocturnal tour to see delicate glow-worms. (Remember a torch for the walk, but turn it off once in the cave). On summer nights, see luminous fungi and fireflies. During the day, hear the calls of paradise riflebirds, green catbirds and wompoo fruit-doves.

The announcement was made at 8:00am (AEST) from the island of St Kitts in the Caribbean.

The Gold Coast was chosen ahead of the Sri Lankan city of Hambantota by 43 votes to 27.

On the coast the announcement was broadcast live on a big screen at a community event at Broadwater Parklands in Southport.

The crowd of thousands fell silent as the moment finally came to hear the long-awaited decision.

When the announcement was made the crowd erupted into deafening cheers, danced, hugged, and waved flags.

Confetti canons fired over the sea of people, and balloons were released into the sky.

 

Gold Coast City Councillor Daphne McDonald says the local event was a great way to celebrate one of the most significant occasions in the city’s history.

“This event is a way of saying thank you to the community for getting right behind the city’s bid. It is a celebration of the bid journey,” she says.

 

Premier Anna Bligh (who was in St Kitts for the announcement) says the win is a tribute to the hard work of the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games Bid team.

“It was very clear early in the week that there were a lot of delegates wanting to support Hambantota and it’s been a very very close vote,” Ms Bligh says.

“So we’ve had 15 meetings, we’ve lobbied everybody, and the hard work has paid off.

“I’m so proud of this team, I’m so proud of the Gold Coast, I’m so proud of being a Queenslander tonight.”

Ms Bligh added this is a great way for Queensland to end the year, after such a traumatic start to 2011 with natural disasters around the state.

“I started the year by saying that Queenslanders were the ones who got knocked down and knew how to get back up again and today we’ve proved that.”

 

Gold Coast Mayor (and former athletics champion) Ron Clarke says he’s already received a challenge from former distance running rival, Kenya’s Kip Keino.

“He came up to me later and he was my great rival at the time and he challenged me to a race in 2018. I’ll have to start training now, I’ll retire from the mayoralty and start training for 2018,” Councillor Clarke joked.
