Looking out over Moran Falls in  Lamington National Park on the Gold Coast
A visit to the Gold Coast is not complete without Venturing a little west to the Coombabah Conservation Parklands.  Here you can immerse yourself in walks through Melaluecas, along boardwalks and marvel at the swamp like conditions.  Not only are the walks enchanting, you can almost be guaranteed of a meeting with kangaroos, wallabies and koalas.  This place is one you can't go to just once.  Get out and explore. #hiking #weekendgetaway #colourful
