Palm Grove Circuit Track

Starting from the end of Palm Grove Avenue, Tamborine Mountain, this walk takes you on a circuit in the lush rainforest of Tamborine National Park via the Palm Grove Circuit track. Embark on a peaceful little journey under the dense rainforest canopy, decorated by big boulders and palms along the track. The scenery alone will make you lose track of time, and the fellow wallabies grazing and chilling around just add to the primitive feel. Slow down and enjoy the tranquil ambiance as you inspect the majestic strangler figs. Get some of our friends who want to get into hiking and charm them in with this magical walk. Bring some apperatives and a nice wine to top it off. Under wet conditions, the track may be muddy and have lots of leeches. Keep an eye out for snakes. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
