Behind the Gold Coast lies a band of National Parks in mountainous terrain. It's a great place to go hiking if one wants time away from the beach. Soon after Lola was born the family Pyke visited the Mount Tamborine area of this park and here are some pics of that.

They have visited the Springbrook since , when they took Marg, Merv and Sue back to spots we visited many years ago.
