Bunya Mountains tour

The bunya pine (Araucaria bidwillii) is the sole survivor of an ancient Gondwana lineage (and one of the two Australian species of Araucaria that our tour company is named after), a magnificent and distinctive tree of great importance to the Aboriginals. The Bunya Mountains near Brisbane preserve the largest survining stand of bunyas. Being in these forests has a primitive feel to it, the bunya trunks looking a bit like the legs of giant elephants amongst the ferns of the forest floor. A great birdlife, mountain views and a well-maintained network of walking trails all add to the experience.

You will stay overnight in a lovely shared-facilities chalet adjacent to the ancient bunya forests, awaken to bird calls and the sight of wallabies grazing nearby. We will take a gentle guided walk through the forest on the afternoon of our arrival from Brisbane, and another the following morning, and you will have some free time to take photos, go birding or just relax.

Our 2-day 1-night tour to the Bunya Mountains is still under development - please stay tuned.
(We have already led one custom-tour to the Bunyas)

Let us know if you'd be interested, and if you'd like to extend it to a 3-day 2-night version,

with a free day for exploring the forests or just relaxing in scenic surroundings.
