Aussie Outback (Scenic Rim)

The Real Australia – From Cattle Country to Mountain Forest

In 2022, the Scenic Rim was named by Lonely Planet as one of the Top 10 places in the world to visit – the only one in Australia.

For millions of years, the dramatic arc of volcanic mountains surrounding the Scenic Rim has provided a variety of gorgeous Aussie landscapes that are so close to Brisbane; it’s finally getting the recognition it always deserved.
