Scenic Rim / Tamborine Mountain, Queensland

The Scenic Rim arcs between Brisbane and the Gold Coast in a ring of ancient volcanic peaks, rainforest and farm valleys. Tamborine Mountain’s avenue of wineries and chapels looks out over the coast, while Canungra, Kooralbyn and the Lost World valleys hide luxury lodges and creek-side wedding estates.

This is South East Queensland’s countryside escape: vineyard lawns at altitude, rainforest ceremonies beside waterfalls, and hinterland sunsets over Mount Lindesay. Under an hour from two airports, the Scenic Rim gives couples mountain-country drama with city convenience.
