Savour Australia's Gondwana Rainforests
The Gondwana Rainforests of Australia include the most extensive areas of subtropical rainforest in the world, large areas of warm temperate rainforest and nearly all of the Antarctic Beech cool temperate rainforest. Few places on earth contain so many plants and animals which remain relatively unchanged from their ancestors in the fossil record.
The Gondwana Rainforests extend from just north of Newcastle to west of Brisbane and include some 50 national parks and reserves, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1986 and included in the National Heritage List in 2007. The area of the Mount Warning volcanic caldera, dubbed “The Green Cauldron”, was declared one of eight National Landscapes in 2008 by Tourism Australia and Parks Australia.
To see these magical places with Paperbark Tours, you’ll travel in a fully-equipped, air-conditioned 4WD coach and stay in unique accommodation, including mountain valley farm resorts, an historical coaching inn and a heritage gold-rush pub.
You’ll take a variety of walks through lush rainforests and ancient Antarctic Beech forests; you’ll enjoy magnificent views from spectacular lookouts; you’ll gain an insight into these extraordinary landscapes at interpretation centres and with local guides; you’ll join the lucky band of people who have seen the sun rise over Mount Warning; and you’ll have close encounters with a range of Australian wildlife and unique Australian flora.
You’ll get typical Aussie hospitality, meet lots of interesting locals, and enjoy a number of guided tours to places you’ll never forget.
You’ll stay in constant touch via phone and mobile internet to share your experiences with family and friends. And you’ll be in a small group of like-minded people who want to see and learn more about this amazing country.
Tours depart Sydney on Sunday, arrive Gold Coast on Saturday (return air fare included).
